Additional info - December 2008 in Note from Kenneth Sheats. "I had the pleasure of reuniting Mr. Roy Wadsworth with one of his fellow crewman Leland Wray a few years ago. They had not seen or been in contact with each other since 1945. Mr. Wray lived in Missouri and he and Mr. Wadsworth were the only survivors of their crew. Their pilot had been the Co-Pilot on Lt. Riley's crew. My brother was engineer on this crew. They were killed 3-23-1944. It is not known if Mr. Wray, who would be 87 years old, is still living. The pilot of Mr. Wray and Mr. Wadsworth was Lt. George F Anderson. Lt Anderson was Co Pilot on Lt Riley's crew before that crew was killed. Lt. Anderson was ill the night of that mission and Lt. Carpenter took his place and the entire crew was killed when the plane, Naughty Blue Eyes, crashed about 17 miles from NadZab, New Guinea. They were flying a weather Recco to WeWak which was to be the bombing mission later that day." Marker photo from Judy McCrory Green
