Seeking information about my uncle a bombadier

Post by cpa2222 » 18 Sep 2022 1708

My uncle, Emil Ashley Jordan was a bombardier and was killed May 12, 1945 off Mindanao. Apparently his plane exploded right after take off from wherever he had been stationed. I would like to know anything anyone can remember or has written about him. I was born 4 months after he was killed so I never met him.

Your uncle was part of the William Young crew in the 320th Squadron. The Missing Air Crew Report (MACR) number that I have is 334 but I do not have a copy of it. You may be able to find it on line.

Did some looking around and found this listed under MACR 15983, but wasn't able to find the actual report. Found these 2 pages. I wasn't able to find the BuNo of the B-24.
