350th Sqdn. Crew, as above, joined the 100th Group on 17/3/44.
NOTES:
According to a letter from Edward Lupia (Dec.1983) Lt. Howard was made
Operations Officer of the 350th after 5 or 6 missions and Brewer became
Pilot of the crew.
350th Sqdn. Diary for Sept.1944 says Capt. Howard relieved as
Operations Officer and sent to 55th Fighter Group flying P51s. Replaced as
Operations Officer by Capt. Henry Smith. See: T.N.H.I.5.G. p.115 for
Howard. Hugh R. Davidson who joined the 100th without a crew flew as
navigator with this crew from 1 June 1944.
Bertram Lobdell, CP on the M. D. Rupert crew, 350th, flew with this
crew for a while as CP. G. Brewer says Jack E. Smith joined his crew as WG
(to replace Mancini) but I can find no record of Smith,...jb
