Hello all,
I am wondering if anyone might recognise these names listed below as being members of the 62th TCG. Some of them are members of a C-47 crew and others are from a bomber crew, all onboard a C-47 which made an emergency landing at Rinneanna Airfield (now Shannon) on July 6th 1942 in Ireland. The names and spelling come from the Irish Army Intelligence Report and there are likely spelling errors therein. The non officers with out question marks I was able to find on the NARA AAD. Note again spellings maybe wrong and serial numbers are somewhat askew also.
If anyone can help.
regards
Dennis Burke
