Having finished their tour, the enlisted men of the Quintin crew left Rattlesden on 22 October 1944, together with several members of the Polansky crew.  At that time, Sgts. Dunn and Curry signed Art Wayrynen's Short Snorter.

Oscar Quintin's experiences are detailed in the story Into Combat with the 447th here in the Library
