Hello Again...

If you are interested...here is the crew list from MACR 6778. Copied from my MACR.

Pilot.........Capt Fern Titus

Copilot....Lt Richard Asher

Nav.........Lt Julian Zagula

Bomb......Lt Joseph A. Zavorski

Rad Op...T/Sgt Arthur Butler

Top Tur...T/Sgt Charles Hedrick

RWG.......S/Sgt Joseph Fiorentino

LWG.......S/Sgt Bartholomew DeBouna

TG..........S/Sgt Everett Kees

Comm

Pilot.......Lt Monte Baker

Nav DR..John Probert

Bom PB.Kenneth Brown

Five of the enlisted men were from Titus's original Crew along with Zavorski from the 732nd SQ. Asher was an original pilot from the 735 SQ.

Does any of this help?

Don

Survivors were Probert, Hedrick and Kees.

All but Zagula, Baker and Brown were original members of the 453rd BG.

On the MACR Baker is listed as 489th BG. No designation for Brown. Kind of strange that Titus was a Captian and Baker, a 1st Lt. would be Command Pilot.
