- 1LT Harvey G. Hesse & crew of the 324th Bomb Sq, 91st BG and B-17G 42-40000 "Just Nothing" (coded DF-F). The "10 May 1944" is puzzling, since the plane and crew were lost on the 22 April 1944 mission to Hamm. With their ship mortally wounded by flak, Hesse and his entire crew managed to parachute to safety and became POWs for the duration.
