Question: Where do I go for a Crew photo Att: Andy Mays, ALex Smart and all others on forum Dear Alex and Andy: Many thanks for your interest and encouragement...I stuck with it even though I spent all this time incorrectly searching B24 crews (per son Eric). I received the following info in an MACR Report today. Schomaker was B 25 Crew member Not a B24 per son Eric. John W. Schomaker ser # 12075316 Gunner Aircraft Ser # 42-64661 B25-c Pilot: John D.

Hi, Well done for staying with it. Glad that you found your man. The B24 was a bad start and that cannot be helped as peoples memories fade and get distorted over time. Also the date was not 28th Dec 43 but earlier. Well done to All concerned. Alex
