351st Sqdn. Crew, as above,
joined the 100th Group on 1/12/43. A/C 231767 EP-E "Our
Gal Sal"Lt Glenn Hudson ended up being both Nav and Bomb for this crew
when Lt Hudson was grounded due to illness and a suitable replacement
Navigator could not be agreed upon. (Bob Shoens mpf 2001)
On crew roster of 3/3/44, a Sgt. Edward R. Silverstone (changed his
last name to Stone after the war) was on crew as BTG and Lt. H. Greenberg
was the Navigator (Greenberg was a fill in Nav. until decided Lt Hudson
would handle both Nav. and Bomb. duties). A S/Sgt Chester P. Coulam (may have been togg on this mission) who
CPT on 27/5/44 appears on this crew roster of 8/3/44.
Sgt. Genevese- from NYC. At Kearny Nebraska, he could not take flying
and was constantly ill during training. He went overseas with the Crew.< In Training missions at Thorpe Abbotts, his illness continued and
Lt Shoens asked the Sqdn CO Ollie Turner for a replacement. Sgt Edward R. Silverstone was
picked from the gunners pool and flew all missions with this crew. Sgt
Genevese was transferred to a ground job......(Bob Shoens, mpf 2001)
