The Man Behind the Name
§ Biography
S/Sgt Richard C. Hurlburt was a gunner aboard B-24J 42-109618. He was reported MIA on 4 November 1944 and annotated K/A on the MACR cover sheet.
His identification tag does not appear among those transmitted in German documents KU-3294 or EU-3294, suggesting his body was not among those retrieved from the crash site at Voslapp. German records note the remaining crew were drowned.
