883rd Air Crews

Note: The original data on the crew composition and numbering of the aircraft came from
records found at
http://www.powmiaff.org/20thAAF/500thBG/882ndSq/SquadronLists/883sq.html
More data were found on microfilm records from NARA and other sources. It now appears
that while the early records were substantially correct as the formal records. There actually
were somewhat different actual records. For example, the Coffman crew was listed as Z-22,
they more frequently flew Z-23. This probably because of availability and other factors of the
situation. Comments are shown.
