: I am looking for information of members of my dads crew, left MacDeil feild in June 1944 and flew to England. His pilot was Woodrow Cornelison, dad was the flight engineer and top turit gunner.From 10/09/44 untill 11/30/44 dad flew 12 missions and was shot down 11/30/44 and spent 11 months in a German prison camp. He flew missions in 9 different B17s and some of the names are Sleepy Time Gal, Batchelor's Delight, and Vermont Maid. I would like to find pictures or some of his buddies so I could talk with them. Dad past away six years ago.
Terry,
Go to www.armyairforces.com and to the forum Groups sorted by number. Click on 486 and you will see the top post by the webmaster/historian. You can contact him directly with any questions. He says the loading lists of the 191 missions are posted and this should give you the entire group of men he flew with. Maybe you will be able to get addresses if they are active members of their association or possibly find some of them on anywho.com or one of the other search engines. If the names are a little unusual, this works pretty well. Common names give a lot of hits and are pretty difficult to trace down. I can give you the list of the crew he was shot down with if you wish.
