Ruthenbeck Crew
A picture would be most welcome!
Ferguson is listed as a pilot in the 3x5 card files and was killed returning from a mission on the night of 21/22 January 1945. Ruthenbeck crew data below is from the 3x5 cardfiles on microfilm. There are no missions recorded in the Late Period Log for Ruthenbeck and consequently it must be assumed it was broken up at some time before the incident.
