The 6th Bomb Group

Air Crew Listing - 24th Squadron



Primary Source: General Order No. 10, issued 20 Feb 1946 which lists all personnel (including air and ground crews) qualifying for the China Offensive Battle Star as of that date. The biggest challenge will be to sort the enlisted men into their appropriate air and ground crews.
Supplemental Sources: Crew pictures; Listings of men KIA, MIA and WIA.

Let me know if there is anyone I have overlooked!
