Info on Little Patches Crew 91st BG/401Sq

Hello,
         Looking for info/photo's or contact with anyone who served with my grandfather Mark Weston. He was a waist gunner on Little Patches, (42-31678 L LL) piloted by Charles "Buck" Buchanan, Co Piloted by Harlod Johnson.  He was part of 91st BG/401st Sqd out of Bassingborn, England.  He was on 2 Nov 1944 Merseburg mission when Little Patches sustained heavy BD.  Sorry in advance if I posted in wrong area.  Still learning to use site.  Thankyou for any help,
Erik Karlon

    Don and Mike,
                           Thanks for the great info and quick responses.  Since I posted my message, I have been able to make contact with 5 of his crew members.  It has been a great week.  This would not have been possible w/o the help and great info I  have received from you and the 91st BG website.  Thanks again.  Proud Grandson of Mark Weston,
     
    Erik

     If it helps to email direct.

     Best Regards

     Dave
