ROG Emmett H. Evans had completed his tour on the 4 OCT 43 mission to
Hanau. On the 8 OCT 43 Bremen mission,
Derrell C. Piel
(KIA) was filling in as ROG. Derrell
was the original ROG on Lt. Richard C. King's crew, but was in the
hospital recovering from a FLAK wound when the King crew was shot down
on 3 SEPT 43 over Paris. Upon release from the hospital, he went
into a spare ROG pool. This was his first mission flying since
recovering from the FLAK wound he received on Aug. 24, 1943, over
Bordeaux. He was on his 16th mission. ON 15 OCT 43 AT THE POST CEMETERY, WESERMUENDE, GERMANY, THE REMAINS OF
