 Lt. Robert Stevenson
Killed in action on 29 April 1944
during his Combat Orientation flight 
with the Elmer Johnson crew in 
42-97501. 

The crew was reassembled later, with 
co-pilot Dahlgran taking Stevenson's place 
and a new co-pilot.

"Old Scrapiron" was a nickname Stevenson
earned during training, and their assigned 
aircraft was named in his honor.
