RECORDS

Database Search

You are in the database section of the website.

Select a record category from RECORDS above. When you have selected a category, you will see search options for that category above the record list. 

Most fields require at least three characters. When you submit your query, the search engine will return all records that contain your search term.

Note that when searching for an aircraft serial number, you must enter the full serial number without the leading "4" and without a dash in the Aircraft SN search field. For example, you would enter 42-37772 as 237772.

The Personnel name field searches both last and first names, so if you enter the search term, "Russ", the search engine will return both Russell Abel and James Russell.

You narrow the search by entering more characters into the search field. For example, "Russ" returns many hits. "Russell" returns fewer hits. The same principle applies to all queries.

The POW and KIA categories are list only and are not searchable.

Casualty Report from 1943-08-17 10:24
MACR: 00678 AIRCRAFT: 42-5867
TARGET: The Me-109 factory at Regensburg, Germany TYPE: B-17F
BASE: Thorpe Abbotts, Norfolk, England NAME: Alice from Dallas
SQUADRON: 350th BS - 100th BG(H) AIRCRAFT CODE: LN-O
CRASH: 

At 1020 hours a swarm of fighters attacked the low squadron over eastern Belgium and so severly damaged the aircraft that the pilot, Roy F. Claytor, sounded the bail out alarm. Eight of the men aboard got out safely, but Edward A. Musante's chute caught on the horizonal stablizer and when the plane exploded in mid-air or crashed he was killed. William M. Hinton, who was flying in place of Robert H. Wussow, apparently did not bail out. It is thought he stayed too long to assist Musante and this gallant action resulted in his death. Both Hinton and Musante were given full Military Funerals by the Luftwaffe and were buried 20 Aug 43 on the Airdrome At St. Trond with a Luftwaffe Chaplain officiating. Hinton's grave number is #287 and Musante's is #268
