Cassedy Crew

A picture would be most welcome!  

No picture of this crew has yet been found. As a cadre crew, in the organization prior to Alconbury, their missions were pro-rated based on their prior combat missions and by the end of June 1944, with their tour complete, most if not all of these men were returned to the Zone of the Interior.
