The air rescue squadron called to the scene found two crew members alive, and the body of a third in the water. Seven crew members were missing and presumed drowned. Tech. Sgt. John T.

He was the top turret gunner aboard the B-17 when it crashed, and his remains were not recovered. Harwell is memorialized on the Wall of the Missing at the Cambridge American Cemetery in England. Based on all information available, DPAA assessed the individual’s case to be in the analytical category of Non-recoverable.
