The Crew included Lt A Livingstone, Lt Hannon, Lt Jaffe, Lt Dershiner, S/Sgt Greer, Sgt Munch, Sgt Martinelli, Sgt Backler, Sgt O'Brien and Sgt Fetzer.9I am aware that Lt Hannon was lost on the 13.3.44 mission).
If anyone can provide me with any information on the above I would be very grateful.
Thank you in advance.

The co-pilot, Lt. J. J. Hannon, was killed in action on March 13, 1944, while flying as co-pilot on a crew piloted by Lt. G. J. Hellmuth.
Following the April 10 mission, the crew was assigned to fly with Lt. W. M. Hammond as pilot; Lt. Livingstone became the co-pilot. This crew then flew 20 missions between May 19 and July 21, 1944. Their final mission was to Schweinfurt.
