This class book contains a photo of the Charleton A. Deuschle crew in "E" Flight, Crew No. 4124 (about page 37). The identifications of William J. Cochran and James L. Kendall are switched.

The Charlton A. Deuschle crew was assigned to the 487th Bomb Group at Lavenham, England in July 1944. They were shot down over Magdeburg, Germany on August 5, 1944. Eight crew members were killed in action. See details on the findagrave page of S/Sgt William J. Cochran:
