Lost 22 Apr 44, GER - MACR 4180 - Pilot George N. Spaven, Jr. - Original Crew

Info Contributor - Frank W. Kinker (Left Waist Gunner)
I was a member of the original crew #27 on FLAK MAGNET (41-29273), which we picked up (brand new) in California and flew it via the southern route to Horsham St. Faith, Norwich, England. We were on rest leave when another crew got knocked down in it over Hamm, Germany 22 Apr 44. Shown above is the original crew of FLAK MAGNET taken beside GAS HOUSE MOUSE (42-95050) that we flew on some missions while waiting for FLAK MAGNET II (41-28962).
