Hello All,
I wonder if any one might know these following airmen, they were on a B-17, 42-31971 which made an emergency landing at Rinneanna Airfield (Now Shannon Airport) in Ireland on February 8th, 1944. Aircraft was on ferry flight frm the US at the time. I have traced the aircraft onto the 390th Bomb Group but the crew did not follow it I seem to have found.
Any idea's are welcome. I've checked NARA AAD, ABMC, WW2 Memorial, Google, all my usual places.
