Crew Notes:
Sgt Raymond E. Jacobsen (WG) was removed from the Baehr crew, before the
crew started their combat missions on 5 July 1944, when the crew size was changed from
10 to 9 men. He flew no missions with the 303rd BG(H)
Other crewmen flew together on most of their combat missions, completing their combat tour on 19 October 1944. 1Lt Thomas I. Peacock (N) finished a few days earlier on 6 October 1944, S/Sgt Carl H. Keipper (TG) finished on 22 October. T/Sgt Clarence H. Brackett fell behind flying no missions between 21 Sept 44 and 2 December 1944. He completed his last six missions with the Lt Loy R. Norris Crew between 4 Dec 44 and 1 Jan 45.
