Revisions
Robert Hosse's activation date along with his initial crew is found on page 225 in a book by John C. Rowe (http://willisrowe.com/DownloadableFiles/ROWE%20CREW.pdf). This is an excellent source book for both original crews of the 448th and replacement crews, It also contains mission synopsis and anecdotal remembrances of their lives in service.
