Previous Crew List | Flimsy | Next Crew List

 

The loading lists are created from original documents when available. Flimsies (Forms 15) provide pilot and formation information. Loading Lists provide the manning record. Some of these have been lost, and in those instances manning is taken from the last known (LK) crew listed, or from a known crew list (CL). These sources should not be looked upon as being accurate. Only the loading list (LL) information shows factual crew manning.
