Scroll down for the statements by crew.
This is an example of a night mission in the ETO, my father was a pilot in the 97th flying these type missions. You can get an understanding of how they navigated and in this case how they lost a crewman.

Flying the A20 was like riding a bronco.

Thanks, was wondering what happened to him.
The 47thGrp has a nice website; plenty of pictures.
