    This link has the biographies of 4 Air Corp men lost in the Pacific on last mission of the 42 SQ with its last three B-17s on February 1, 1943. The men were all men who served with my father but never returned. Their families have put these biographies together there. If you go to this link and at the bottom of the page you should see the hyperlinked PDF as I have them here for downloading and reading.

    You will have to go to the link above to download the PDF files of these men.

    This section of the website records the efforts to learn their fate, starting with the searches conducted by the family of Major Hall, as recorded in the biographical memoir about Major Hall. Those efforts were joined and expanded by the research of Mr. Arnold Guerrero, recorded in his memoir of co-pilot Lt. Joaquin Castro, and the biographical memoirs of Staff Sergeant James C. Stephens, Jr., provided by his family. The remaining crew members remain undocumented.

    Major Earl Oxford Hall, Pilot, Crawford, Texas
    1st Lieutenant Joaquin Castro, Co-Pilot, Mission, Texas
    Staff Sergeant James C. Stephens, Jr.
    Technical Sergeant Paul Frederick Adler
    2nd Lieutenant Frank N. Stern, Jr., Illinois
    Staff Sergeant James Y. Bales, Indiana
