Shown with the 1st crew during training in the U.S.
1943. They were assigned another B-24D in England. On their second mission, the
ill-fated raid on Bremen (13 Nov 43), all but two died in a mid-air collision
with a damaged B-24D (see MACR 2501 and 2502). Sadler and Collier bailed out and
were held in Germany as POWs. Kinard was not on that flight.
