Crew
personnel change (as shown in the photo above) took place after
combat missions ended. AC Major Ewell K. Nold returned to
the States and 1st Lt. Gordon B. Perkins followed on emergency
leave. 2nd Lt Richard D. Harrison replaced Nold as
AC and Christ-Janner replaced Perkins as Bombardier. We
flew POW missions with Harrison as AC of Crew 1.
