Looking for the 467th BG historian.

Dear Reader,
 
I'm the author of the book "Not Home for Christmas" devoted to the November 26, 1944, mission of the Mighty Eighth.
I'm now working on a second book covering the April 29, 1044 mission.
I'm looking for the or a 467th Group historian who can provide me with information about the John P. Gavin crew, one of the three crews lost on that day.
Thanks a lot in advance.
