L to R:
Nappi, John                          - Gunner
Barineau, James L.                - Radioman/Gunner
Powell, Hugh S.                     - Armorer
Berenbrok, Edward (NMI)      - Engineer

Capt. Whitlock, George B.    - Pilot
Lt. Murray, Joseph P.           - Navigator
Lt. Britt, James O.                - Co-Pilot

James's son also submitted this photo.

Back row left to right

The date of this mission is harder to pin down.  As to the 2 "unknowns," one is probably Gutmann, Leonard L.  The other is either Berenbrok, Edward (NMI) or Wyatt, Kenneth C.

376 ARCHIVES

The website 376bg.org is NOT our site nor is it our endowment fund.

At the 2017 reunion, the board approved the donation of our archives to the Briscoe Center for American History, located on the University of Texas - Austin campus.

Also, the board approved a $5,000 donation to add to Ed Clendenin's $20,000 donation in the memory of his father. Together, these funds begin an endowment for the preservation of the 376 archives.

Donate directly to the 376 Endowment
