Post by Lludw »

My Uncle was the co pilot of this B24D Liberator: 1st Lt. Ashley F. Pritchard, O-736350 (MIA / KIA) NY
If any one is interested I have taken the liberty of researching the individual members of the crew & have everything from census records, US Rosters of WWII Dead, to the news articles that appeared from the time that they went missing. Let me know if any one is interested in the information that I have collected.

Here is the complete crew:
