Was trying to locate first name of the tail gunner Huntley. My father was in the hospital with burst appendix and Huntley replaced him for that mission and was lost when the plane was shot down. Huntley was from another crew and Dad had to finish his last couple missions on his plane.

His full name was John H. Huntley; S/Sgt. 16160362.
I will update the crew list asap.
