The following pictures were supplied by Frank Klein. Mr. Klein flew 49 missions with the 372nd Bomb Squadron, however, he was on a training mission on 6/25/44 when the Colemand plane was shot down.

Frank stated in a 12/18/04 email to Paul Jurica (Nephew of Co-Pilot John E., Jr. Jurica), "We were a newer crew and although I probably met your uncle I do not remember him or his crew. We bombed YAP a week later. Over a period of weeks we lost several crews over YAP. You can rest assured every effort was made to rescue any survivors. Our submarines and PBY flying boats were off shore on every mission to help pick up survivors.
