 Home > 403rd Bombardment Squadron B-24 Combat Aircrews 1944 - 1945



This is a list of combat aircrews that joined the 403rd Bombardment Squadron from January 1, 1944 through November 1945. Please note that this list shows only complete crews that joined as a single fighting unit. Many combat aircrews were made up of airmen who joined the squadron seperately from an entire crew, and many aircrews had substitute members as the war progressed. These ad hoc crews are not shown in this list.
