I have a picture of the crew (not sure where and when it was taken) if interested.
My dad is S/SGT Richard (Dick) Hanson, the BT gunner on this crew.
He spent 11 months as a POW in Germany at various locations before being liberated on April 29th, 1945.
Thank you for this Site! I couldn’t find the other crew members names or their group and squad numbers until I visited here.
