36th BS
Holzworth Crew

The picture shown here was taken stateside when Holzworth was Copilot to
Cummings in the ASW Group; names were provided by Rodman St.Clair in
the fall of 2001. Surnames in gray did not fly after the 28Nov44 Special
Order that initialized the two squadrons (36th and 406th).

Standing,L-R:
Claude H. Cummings,Jr.         - Pilot          ASN 0431006     
Ernest S. Holzworth            - Copilot        ASN 0794407
Albert G. Stout,Jr.            - Navigator      ASN 0600529
Robert P. Nelson               - Bombardier     ASN 0733095

Kneeling,L-R:
Earl H. Kilgore                - Engineer       ASN 13034985
Baker J. Guilbeau              - R.O.           ASN 14054060
Edmund C. Andrews              - Dispatcher     ASN 34357885
Fred Barrett                   - Gunner         ASN 19020550
Milton Bromberg                - Changed MOS    ASN 32305776

ASNs so-colored for EMs link to their NARA Enlistment Records.

Errata: Bromberg changed his MOS to 884 (Radio Observer)after the move to Alconbury and did not fly any combat missions thereafter. Barrett's ASN does not match with the NARA record for that number.

Holzworth became Assistant Ops Officer after the 27 Dec 43 crash of the Williams crew, a short list of Holzworth's combat flights includes:

MR 0047 - Extra CP to Carpenter
MR 0054 - Copilot to Pipkin
MR 0285 - Pilot to a makeup crew
MR 0300 - CP to Merrill
MR 0385 - Pilot to a makeup crew

MRs 0568, 0606, 0705 and 0733, 4 missions with Harrison's former crew. Holzworth also flew C-47 Missions 06,21,31,34 all in late August and early September of 1944. He is logged for one C-47 flight in August and four C-47 missions in September, but by the end of that month he still had only 25 missions completed and was probably to remain at Harrington for some time. His final appearance in the Ops Log occurred on the night of 24/25 March 1945; a mission to Norway.
