S/Sgt John R. Rudy, born 2 December 1923, was the tail gunner aboard the aircraft shot down on 13 June 1944 during a bombing mission over NW France. He departed from Station 104 at 1630. Of three planes shot down that day, Rudy was the only crew member to successfully evade capture. He had completed 31 missions and had 17 months of service at the time. Rudy bailed out at 15,000 feet. All six crew members who bailed out were shot at while descending; two were killed during the descent and three were captured. Rudy survived uninjured. He remained hidden in a field for two days while German forces searched the area. After leaving the field, Rudy was sheltered at a farm where he was fed and directed to another farm. From there the French Maquis picked him up and took him to their headquarters near Hennebont. He stayed with the Maquis in and around Hennebont for approximately two months. During the latter portion of his stay, American forces advanced to nearby positions. The Maquis eventually transported Rudy by car to Brest, where he joined American troops. He arrived back in the UK on 19 August 1944. He used French francs (2,000) from his escape purse to purchase cigarettes and food during his evasion, and used a map of France from his escape kit. He did not pay his guides.

S/Sgt Thomas C. Sornsin is listed as the top turret gunner in the formal crew table, though the questionnaire lists him under the waist gunner position. He is listed as MIA. Rudy named Sornsin as a waist gunner in his questionnaire answers, suggesting he may have been filling multiple roles. His ultimate fate is not detailed beyond the MIA designation.
