Air Crews
| Below is a list of the air crews. The first 16 air crews were the original crews and generally flew together for the duration. Many were able to complete 35 missions before the end of the war. When replacement crews arrived, the policy was for them to fly with an experienced Aircraft Commander for 5 missions, while their Aircraft Commander served as Pilot with an experienced crew. After the first 5 missions, the air crews resumed flying together with their original Aircraft Commander. However, especially later in the war, replacement crews were split up to serve as individual replacements on more experienced crews. |
