The following missions are from the Record of Combat Duty for Cpl Wilmer E. Latta, Radio Op of Crew 62. RCD's are a record of the missiong an individua flew. Its is possible due to illness or being assigned to a different crew as a fill in, a crw member could have more or less missions that his crew mate. Originally the only documented mission that were available about his crew came from the Historical Narratives of the 62nd Bomb Squadron April-July written by Capt Edward Babbitt, Historical Officer, 62nd BS.
Kofu, Gifu, Handa and Ogaki found in the narratives and no combat flying hours were listed; However, we have been able to now include the data from Cpl Latta's records.
Thanks to Greg Wilkes, son of J.C. Wilkes, Radio Op, Crew 43 for providing the Historical Narratives. |
