I requested a spare crew a couple days ago. Must've put it in the wrong place because I never saw confirm although I can see my post. Weird.
Anyway, we didn't wait for the paperwork and flew mission #29. I believe all these men are on their first mission:
A/C B-17 Private Dix, 80th squadron
1Lt Devin Gould PILOT
2Lt Aaron Ronald COPILOT
2Lt Jasper Kersey NAVIGATOR
2LT Willis Downing BOMBARDIER
SSGT Lenny Gardner ENGINEER
SSGT Danny Marshall RADIO
SGT Thomas Lewis BALL GUNNER
SGT Bubba Giroux WAIST GUNNER

Sorry about putting the request in a new thread.
Captain Marz was hitting the "liquid pain reliever" for his ribs pretty hard when he issued those orders...
All men are returned with 1 mission. No awards, casualties, etc.
