Please tell me how many missions it took to qualify to fly no more missions at the end of the war in Euroupe. I am trying to figure out how many missions my father flew. He can't remember. He qualified to fly no more just at the time the war ended (waist gunner, togglier, 613th, 401st). The record on this web site shows 5 with his crew but he was loaned to other crews possibly 10 or more times as togglier. Many thanks.

My dad had to fly 35 toward the end of the war. I don't believe it got higher than 35.

Yes I believe that is correct 35 missions. Also they didn't start doing the Loading List until later in the war. They way it is shown on the 401st site here is more static than interactive. Mainly because they don't have the info to tell when someone was loaned to another crew.
