Dresher is not listed among in the booklet "Officers of Attlebridge" printed in June 1945 nor is he on the final roster of officers at Attlebridge printed 10 May 1945 while the rest of the officers in the Felber Crew are. As they were assigned late in the war and were not a lead crew, Dresher being a bombardier may not have been assigned with the rest of the Felber Crew to the 466th BG
