Below are flight highlights complied from Cecil Davis’s AF Form 5, AF Form 11, AF Form 186, W.D.,A.G.O. Form No. 24, “Restricted” Special Orders 195, and personal notes, and from Dick Brinck’s AF Form 11 and personal notes of their B-29 flights while they were with the 60th Squadron from approximately July to December 1945. Flights listed are only B-29.

Several World War II flights were mistakenly left off Cecil’s AF Form 5, and Dick Brinck’s AF Form 5 is not available. Also the ‘power strike’ or ‘show of force’ flight that Cecil and Dick flew along with the 314th on September 2nd is not included on any records.

Cecil’s missing B-29 flight hours were awarded in October 1945, and ten years later in August 1955 grouped together. A combined 233:30 extra World War II combat hours were added as a supplement to Cecil Davis’s AF Form 5 which totaled 628 combat hours as recorded on his AF Form 11.

Unfortunately, except for general locations such as Guam, Tinian, Okinawa, Rota, Saipan, Iwo Jima, Korean Peninsula and Japan, no precise flight locations are listed on the AF Form 5. But, according to a certain “Restricted” document, it is possible flights conducted to or from Iwo Jima were classified. (Both Dick and Cecil would later fly several classified missions in the Korean War, and nuclear bomb testing-related as written in their personal bios).

In addition, both Cecil Davis and Dick Brinck flew other aircraft. Dick flew B-29 and C-45 (maybe more). Cecil flew B-17, B-29 and C-45. Cecil also logged First Pilot hours in addition to Pilot hours. Some days they flew more than once.

Cecil reported they flew seven combat related sorties in multi-role functions, including bomb drops, warning and instruction pamphlets drops, combat troop movement, and emergency and disaster food supplies. Radar Officer Hollis Logan reports they flew three combat missions. Dick Brinck has at least one combat mission of 17 hours listed on his AF Form 11, but no date or flight location. Dick Brinck was also utilized as a B-29 instructor on Guam as he had instructed prior in T-6 and B-17 while on duty in the United States.

December 17th appears to be the last flight recorded in the AF Form 5 of Cecil Davis of the Brinck Crew flying B-29 with the 60th Squadron. (Although, Cecil’s flights in December may have been without Dick Brinck as some records contradict and only list Dick Brinck in Guam until the end of November 1945).

The crew disbanded and Cecil Davis was transferred to the 29th Group, 52nd Squadron on Guam.

*Note: according to Cecil, the Flight Engineer, 1st Lt. William O'Brien was also a rated pilot, wore pilot wings, and occasionally flew the aircraft with the crew to get his pilot flight pay.
