Group Burial Information
Looking for information pertaining to the crash of a B-25J on 8 May 1943 on a misstion to Tien Ho Airfield, Canton, China. The following crewmembers as buried as a group burial in Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, St. Louis
Last Name First Name MI Suf Rank Crew Position
Blades Hubert F SSgt Aerial Gunner
Cave Thomas H SSgt Radio Operator
Kelly George A SSgt Aerial Gunner
Lee Frederick B Jr 1Lt Navigator
Shirley Elden E SSgt Flight Engineer
Weaver Douglas C Capt Pilot
The co-pilot, 1Lt John B Lyman evidently was identified and his remains returned to his family. I am looking for any further information on this crew and if anyone has the tail number of this aircraft. The MACR database does not reflect this crash and the MACR I have makes no reference to it. Thanks for all the help
