Hey guys, I am resurrecting this old thread. I became busy with many other projects while I awaited a reply for my request for information. I never received a reply from the US Army regarding his IDPF. I am going to make another attempt, once again requesting the form 34, aircraft load lists...

Hey guys, I took another look at all of the notes I had received from the Air Force Historical Research Agency. There is a reference to my great uncles crew as both crew #47 (from the 456th Bomb Group Association website however the information shows the incorrect mission number) and crew #37...
