350TH SQDN.. CREW, AS ABOVE JOINED THE 100TH ON 15 JUN 1944..

CREW WAS ON A PRACTICE MISSION AND LIKELY HAD NOT FLOWN A COMBAT MISSION. MACR #6993, Microfiche #2530.. LAST SEEN ABOUT FIVE MILES OFF GREAT YARMOUTH AT 17,000 FT. TOWERING CUMULUS COVERING 8/10 OF SKY.

Fate of this aircraft and crew are not determined - All ten crewmen are listed on the Wall of the Missing at Cambridge It is presumed the aircraft crashed into the sea, carrying its crew to the bottom. As a general rule at least some crew members were rescued or at least some bodies were recovered from the water. This was not the case for this accident....pw
