401st BG, 615th Bomb Squadron.  I am searching for information about my Uncle, Louis (Bus) Rush who was KIA Feb 16, 1945 on a mission to Gelsenkirchen.  All of the crew is listed as KIA except H.E. HUghes who is listed as POW.  The pilot was S.J. Lozinski.  Does anyone have any information about H.E. Hughes?  Thanks.  Bill Rush

Capt Lozinski was the pilot of two crews, mostly the same personnel, flying regular combat and PFF missions.  I have a list of crew members, missions, and aircraft flown if known. There are some corrections written in by one of the crew members from the first crew at one of the reunions.  If you want a copy, let me know.

Harold Hughes was my good friend and bombardier and Louis Rush was my navigator.  We flew together on our first 13 missions.  I was co-pilot with Steve Lozinski. We were badly bruised on that 13th and I was hospitalized for 3 months. I did not fly with them again. I kept in touch with Hughes for some years until I read his obit in Issue 111,"Poop From the Group". Your uncle "Bus" was a good young man.   Give me your address  and I can tell you one or two stories.

Scott -- I flew co-pilot with Lozinski our first 10 missions. I am curious as to the crew member from first crew who made the corrections you write about.
