I found eleven veterans of the 487th Bomb Group in this book. They were all commissioned on October 7, 1943:
1. Thomas S. Mackie, 956 Anchor Street, Philadelphia
2. Francis W. Moan, 229 Auburn Street, Auberndale, Massachusetts
3. Stanley A. Slusarczyk, 248 Pringle, East Carnegie, Pennsylvania
4. Cecil J. Smith, Nemaha, Iowa
5. Theodore G. Tatsios, 122 Dummer Street, Lowel, Massachusetts
6. Franklyn Richard Theriault, Goshen Road, Salem, Ohio
7. Norman Tipograph, 1316 East 8th Street, Brooklyn, New York
8. Arthur R. Wright, 295 South Main Street, Warsaw, New York
9. Vitold A. Zalneraitis, 221 So. Common Street, Lynn, Massachusetts
10. Rudolph J. Zebora, 15 Hobart Street, Meridan, Connecticut
11. Walter V. Zmud, 322 Saratoga Street, Cahoes, New York
Four of these men were killed in action: Thomas S. Mackie, Stanley A. Slusarczyk, Cecil J. Smith, and Rudolph J. Zebora. One of these men, Vitold A. Zalneraitis, became a prisoner of war.
