Looking for family of the crewmembers of the Lawrence Shannon crew, 753rd Squadron 458th Bomb Group. They were assigned on November 23, 1944. On February 13, 1945 the crew was on a training mission when they had to feather an engine. They crashed while trying to land and all of them were killed. The bombardier, F/O Norman W. Cameron was not aboard that day.
2Lt Lawrence R. Shannon – Pilot
2Lt Allen K. Jewett – Co-pilot
F/O Leslie J. Gruner – Navigator
F/O Norman W. Cameron – Bombardier (not on Feb 13th flight)
Sgt William L. Weber – Radio Operator
Sgt Robert L. Ward – Flight Engineer
Sgt Frederick M. Caudell – Gunner
Sgt Gene P. Hamilton – Gunner
Sgt Grant D. Ordiway – Gunner
Sgt Charles E. Given – Gunner
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks very much.
