Excerpts from John Massol's November 1993 letter to Paul West:
King (Edward C. King, Jr.) was taken off our crew about 15th (March 15th, 1944) and sent to advanced navigation school. He went to Group and I think finished a tour. He stayed in the Air Force and retired in the 1970s as a Colonel. Stern (Edwin A. Stern, Jr.) off crew March 15th, 1944 and also sent to special school. As noted he was shot down with Geary (J. R. Geary) on 24 May 1944 mission to Berlin...Became a POW. Westley (William T. Westley) was grounded with back trouble but I think he completed a tour. Roberts (James M. Roberts) left the crew and completed his tour with another crew..Williams (Winnefred C. Williams) missed a mission, completed with another crew and I do not know why."
