Roster addition, Request for info John P Kelly, Pilot 484th

[Chris Kelly]

Hello: 
I would like to have my father, John P Kelly, added to the roster for 484th BG, 826th Squadron. He was a B-24 pilot flying out of Foggia area on dates around June, 1944.

He is listed as CoPilot with Willie Fairchild PIC on the June 30 mission Operations Orders 440630-7.

But in looking at dozens of orders around this date I see neither of them mentioned again. How complete is the record of orders around those dates?

John died in May, 2006 and is buried in Loveland, Colorado.

I think the John and crew arrived at Torretta around May 4, 1944. My dad flew his first mission on May 12 but John may have flown earlier. Most of the mission reports are missing for all the early missions from April 29 to about June 14. The first crew to complete their missions finished up on July 19. I would imagine John was done by early August. As far as I know he flew all of his missions as co-pilot with Willie Fairchild.
