Notes:
- Lieutenant Colonel G. Kozoriz: “We arrived back at home base in about an hour or so. Our first shock on arrival was that our entire OTU course had been moved to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia during our short absence.” (Course No 5 (Air Gunner) student & survivor of the crash of Ventura AE936 in Maine. (Quote from book “Grumpy Flies Again” Book in the library of G. Christian Larsen)
