Revisions
Added a space before the words "Tail gunner" in the A/C “Description” to aid clarity.
The MACR re this aircraft, which was last seen on 1 January 1945 over the North Sea [returning from mission to Kassel] lists the aircraft with these personnel, correctly as being 369th Squadron, 306th Bomb Group.
