These crew members were actually a mix of two "regular" crews. Ray, William, and Robert, three close friends, were on their 45th mission. Most of the remaining crew were on their 4th mission and were flying with the more experienced crew as part of training. The Radar Bombardier, Dennis G. Wales, (KIA 11/15/1944) was not on board.
