Recent events have brought to the fore a certain crash of A-20G-20 42-86768 "Barry's Baby," 3rd BG (L), 90th BS (L) on May 14, 1944 in the South West Pacific. The survivor T/Sgt Anthony Zulkus listed as "Engineer" survived. He claimed both engines quit at low altitude and the plane went in.
I have built models of A-20s and don't know where any escape hatches are. I know the glass nosed A-20 door was underneath, and the pilots compartment roof was huge. What about the gunner and other guy in the tail? If given warning, how could they manage?
President Biden's uncle died in the crash. 2lt Ambrose Finnegan was a courier for HQ 15th Air Force. Besides him, the pilot 1Lt Harold Prince and gunner T/Sgt Ashfors Cardwell perished and their bodies never recovered.
