Our list of men who were rescued is very incomplete. As we discover their names, we will add them here.

Pyne, Arthur R. 11116394 Gunner
John Woodruff's family provided some additional details about the August 10 mission. Their notes are:
1. Giffin was usually the Nose Gunner on the Badger crew. On this mission he switched places with Woodruff because the nose, which had been replaced with the tail turret of another aircraft, was too small for Giffin.
2 Woodruff was usually the Top Turret Gunner on the Badger crew. On this mission he switched places with Giffin because the nose, which had been replaced with the tail turret of another aircraft, was too small for Giffin.
3 Pyne was usually the Ball Turret Gunner on the Franklin A. Rimerman Crew. On this mission he replaced Kenrick because Kenrick had dysentery.
4 Kenrick was usually the Ball Turret Gunner on the Badger Crew. He did not fly on this mission because he had dysentery. On August 15, 1944, Kenrick took Pyne’s place on the Franklin A. Rimerman Crew. Their plane exploded on takeoff that day. Kenrick was killed in action.
5 Sekerak was usually Navigator on the Badger Crew. He did not fly on this mission because he had pneumonia. The Badger Crew had no navigator as they flew in a large formation. Because the Badger Crew was shot down on August 10, 1944, Sekerak was assigned to the Dana O. Reed Crew (202) on Mission 362 to Mezzocorona, Italy, when the aircraft ditched in the Adriatic Sea due to weather on November 11, 1944. Sekerak was killed in action.

The website 376bg.org is NOT our site nor is it our endowment fund.
At the 2017 reunion, the board approved the donation of our archives to the Briscoe Center for American History, located on the University of Texas - Austin campus.
Also, the board approved a $5,000 donation to add to Ed Clendenin's $20,000 donation in the memory of his father. Together, these funds begin an endowment for the preservation of the 376 archives.
Donate directly to the 376 Endowment
