Looking for any information / Photos on Lt CA Lincoln (Pilot) or S/SGT CR Steitz (Ball Turret Gunner). and any crew members. First mission 26 Apr 1944 and for some reason there 28th and last mission was 27 Aug 1944 . Why stop at 28?. Hope someone out there can help
Thanks for reading my message

My dad, a co-pilot, flew his first mission with another crew (still trying to find out which) and it sounds like it was usual for the pilot and co-pilot to fly their first mission(s) with experienced crews.  Consequently, he might have flown with a new pilot after he was an experienced co-pilot, since there were four missioon he flew with other crews according to his flight records. It certainly wasn't unusual to finish up missions piecemeal, so seeing a list of missions flown as a crew might come up short.
