Crew personnel change (as shown in the photo above) took place after combat missions ended.  AC Major Ewell K. Nold returned to the States and 1st Lt. Gordon B. Perkins followed on emergency leave.  2nd Lt Richard D. Harrison replaced  Nold as AC and Christ-Janner replaced Perkins as Bombardier.  We flew POW missions with Harrison as AC of Crew 1.
