Bill,
I checked Mighty Eighth Combat Chronology and didn't find Lt. Bob White listed. However, he is listed as MIA on the American Battle Monuments Commission website.
Lt Barab (MACR 11079) is listed as KIA on 26 Nov 1944 in midair crash while flying P-51 44-13574. 2Lt Kelley (MACR 10886) is listed as flying P-51 42-106910.
I couldn't find anything on Cummins or Lake. George D. Kasparian
