§ Biography
Radio Operator of B-24H 42-51078. Listed as MIA on both the original MACR and subsequent supplement; no RTD annotation appears for Baker.
A serial number discrepancy was noted between the MACR (34337528) and the Battle Casualty Report (39337528). ETOUSA issued a clarification request on 16 February 1945. The MACR serial number 34337528 is used here as the primary record.
