62 TCG / 51 TCS

SST Eugene L. MANAHAN, from Saybrook, Illinois.

MIA 30th November 1942 on a ferry flight from the USA to the UK. 

Apparently the crew survived a crash landing in Greenland. Radio contact was established with base but the communication batteries ran out after a few days. A rescue search was abandoned after 30 days. In 1944 the Army reported that it was the only aircraft lost in Greenland and still unaccounted for.

SSgt Manahan and the other four crew members are all commemorated on the Cambridge Cemetery Tablets of the Missing.

It is believed the aircraft was a C-47. Who can add infor with regard to the Aircraft Serial Number?
