Entrekin (Waist G), Shieldes (Radioman), Cannon (Engineer), Wood (Tail
G), Carr (Waist G), Hackleman (Ball)
Entrekin was apparently the 10th man when they were converting to 9 man crews - I have no record of him flying any missions with the 379th. McDermott seems to have been the navigator this crew trained with, and he flew with them until the mission on Swamp Fire.
Mission Number: 205 for the 379th flown on 9/17/1944
Target City: Eindhoven Area , Netherlands
Target: Troop Support Crew loading from 527th Bomber Squadron
