My Dad was the radio operator, Howard Kallal. The only member of the crew he knew made it out alive was Claude Keenum, also a prisoner of war. He was unable to find out about the other crew members. This information says 7 evaded capture. I would love to hear from anyone regarding the other crew members. Howard passed in 2007.
