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.

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.
