36th BS
Williams Crew

Only six of those killed are in this picture, as it was taken at Dunkeswell,UK, sometime previous to the Group reassignment to Alconbury. The aircraft pictured here (Slightly Dangerous), has the typical ASW paint scheme, quite different from the all-black planes the Group would later fly.

	An original ASW crew, Williams was 
	Operations Officer for the 36th BS when he went down and was replaced by 
	Benjamin Mead. While not flying any
Carpetbagger
combat 
	missions, the officers had probably flown one or two combat missions with 
	the RAF/SOE squadrons prior to the crash. Men were sent to pick up the 
bodies in Special Orders #85,dtd 28Dec43 
issued from Alconbury (Sta 102).
