Oscar Frechette crew

Oscar Frechette crew was assigned to the 515th Squadron.  The above photo was sent by John Palmer's son. The crew members were:

Houser, Wayne E.                   37268668    Radio
 is not in the photo

Some additional information has come to light.  First as to "W. Wheeler", our records do not show that anyone with this name served served in the 376.

Second, Jeff sent a copy of his father's "short snorter." see the first image below.

If one rotates the image and looks at the list of names, "W. E. Houser" is clearly visible; along with the date of Aug 17, 1943.  My conclusion is that "Wheeler" is Houser.
