For a start, you might want to check the 95th Bomb Group Memorials Foundation site, they've got crew lists and mission logs that often include tail gunners. The US National Archives also has mission reports you can request.

The second link I posted above shows all 34 of his missions. The first being Jan. 3, 1945 and his last being May 5, 1945. He wasn't shot down. His last two Missions where Chowhound missions, dropping food in the Netherlands. The war ended in Europe three days later.
