The pilot's name on a mission is no guarantee that everyone on the crew flew.  Fortunately, I have my dad's individual flight records, and there were four missions that my dad flew separate from his crew.  I know that new pilots and co-pilots would often fly their first mission with an experienced crew.  I could see where a bombardier might fly with an experienced crew at first...........
