(Bill) Duling, was tail gunner that day on the &quot;Down 'n Go&quot; and was in Luft Stalag 1 near Barth until May 1945.  He had been ball turret gunner until that mission when the ball turret and tail gunner traded positions.  I would be interested to know if there are any of my father's crew members still alive.  The only names that I can remember him referring to are: Finney and Brown. The first names and positions are unknown to me. Thanks.<br></td>
