Lynde "Jerry"-Nose Gunner (Recluse, WY); From the front left kneeling: Flight Officer Charles W. Callahan-Navigator (Brooklyn), Flight Officer Kenneth A. Brett-Co-pilot (Carroll County, New Hampshire), Flight Officer Harold W. Hetzler-Pilot (Onaga, KS), Flight Officer Robert S. Lambert-Bombardier (Quincy, WA).
