Update:

August 2001
Tomberg is listed as bombardier on Crew 50 at the time of Stateside Departure March/April 1945. According to a phone conversation with
Lewis Howard, Tail Gunner, who was not on the 23 24 May 1945 night raid with his crew, 1st Lt Robert Morton, the crew's regular bombardier was injuried during the 14 May 1945 mission to Nagoya and was left at Iwo Jima.

Since Crew 52 was in need of a bombardier that accounts for why Leon Tomberg was on this crew.

If anyone has any additional information about Leon Tomberg or a member of his crew please contact updates@39th.org
