: I would like names of airmen from the 452 Bomb Group who became POW's near Usingen on May 12, 1944. I have the MACR#'s as 4779, 4778, and 4823.
: I am corresponding with an eyewitness of that battle who, as a schoolboy, found one of the downed airmen and walked with him into town. He is interested in determining this man's name and finding out how he fared throughout the rest of the war.
: Thank you for any help.
My uncle, Lt Robert F Kerr was in "Why Worry" #4779(MACR). The pilot was Capt Robert C Patrick. I can get the other crew members, as my uncle is still with us!
