Gilbert Luster Langdon Jr. 1989. Gilbert Langdon was the Belly Gunner for 30 missions under Captain Nordic in Black Cat 13. I believe, with respect, the crew listed for Black Cat 13 were flying her to the states when she had the mid air collision. Gilbert did a documentary interview. I will find and edit this with the web adress.
