484th #36

[grd]

My dad was T/Sgt Henry Grant Danielsen (front 2nd from right).
Can anyone identify the other crew members?
Any additional information on this crew, aircraft, awards, or their missions?


I have this on the 484th:


History

Constituted as 484th Bombardment Group (Heavy) on 14 Sep 1943 and activated on 20 Sep. Trained for combat with B-24's. Moved to Italy, Mar-Apr 1944. Assigned to Fifteenth AF. Redesignated 484th Bombardment Group (Pathfinder) in May 1944 but did not perform pathfinder functions.



Redesignated 484th Bombardment Group (Heavy) in Nov 1944. Operated primarily as a strategic bombardment organization, Apr 1944-Apr 1945.

Attacked such targets as oil refineries, oil storage plants, aircraft factories, heavy industry, and communications in Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania, and Yugoslavia.



On 13 Jun 1944 a heavy smoke screen prevented the group from bombing marshalling yards at Munich; however, in spite of severe damage from flak and interceptors, and despite heavy gunfire encountered at the alternate target, the group bombed marshalling yards at Innsbruck and received a DUC for its persistent action. Received second DUC for performance on 21 Aug 1944 when, unescorted, the organization fought its way through intense opposition to attack underground oil storage installations in Vienna. In addition to strategic missions the 484th participated in the drive toward Rome by bombing bridges, supply dumps, viaducts, and marshalling yards, Apr-Jul 1944; ferried gasoline and oil to Allied forces in southern France, Sep 1944; and supported the final advance through northern Italy, Apr 1945. Moved to Casablanca in May 1945.



Assigned to Air Transport Command. Inactivated in French Morocco on 25 Jul 1945.

Try researching at the 15th AAF website under the 49th Bomb Wing / 484th Bomb Group page.

www.484th.org/

It's the best reference I have found in researching my grandfather who served with the 825th Bomb Squadron.

Another good site is: www.b24bestweb.com/

I did a quick search by Ship # 36 under photos, but came up empty.

Hello,

I have a roster that shows he was on the Billie B. Neel crew. Look up Neel in the Torretta Flyer Index and read the entries. I think the aircraft was serial number 42-94742, nose number 36.

Here are the crew members from my roster.

1/Lt Charles M. Cossey--Navigator--O-723297
T/Sgt Henry G. Danielson--Engineer--39900327
Sgt. Bill Drake--Tail Gunner
S/Sgt. Guido J. Montemerlo--Nose Gunner--31440217--Last known address.....Windsor Locks, CT.
Capt. Billie B. Neel--Pilot--O-677852
2nd Lt. Arthur J. Scholl--Co-Pilot--O-771812---LKA.....Ardsley, NY
S/Sgt George A. Setser--Ball Gunner--19203102---LKA.....Coupeville, WA
2nd Lt. Jack L. Sorkin--Bombardier--O-772196---LKA.....Cleveland, OH
T/Sgt. William Stamper--Radio Operator--33477032
S/Sgt. Juan Valdez--T/G--3462269

It would probably be worthwhile to look up all these names in the Torretta Flyer index too--you might find a letter to the editor from one of them. I think I have a list of the dates flown by the Neel crew. Send me a private message with your e-mail and I'll send it to you if I can find it. Look through the 484th BG operational history and see if you can find your dad listed under the awards for each month--maybe he got a DFC.
