I know my dad said that he sometimes flew with crews other than his own (as a ball turret gunner), but I have no idea who they were. Is there a way to find out?

As you probably know my Dad usually flew on Lt. McKeon crew, but his flight log had more flights than the rest of his crew.
Can you check and see what other crews he flew with?

Not good news, in June the 613th for some reason didn't report the crews by individual they just annotated the crew of and named the pilot. July he flew with his normal crew and no other one. Most of the other reports indicated each individual in the crew. I do wonder sometimes about the reporting methods and how they change from squadron to squadron.
Sorry
