Sgts. J.W. Ikner, J.S. Klein and Cpl. B.A. Burton were crew members aboard 7T.

Lt. Ashmore jumped from the plane but it was reported by Italian residents that his parachute did not open. His body was found near the crashed air plane. The bodies of the other two crew members were found in the wreckage.
