The other "Unknown" is probably either Jess Emery or Steven Tukos who were replacement gunners added to the crew after four of the original crew (Eugene M. Hughes, Carroll S. Bogard, Leroy Guidroz and Howard R. Hershey all gunners) after they bailed out on the 8 August 1944 mission. Kinsey had put the aircraft through some violent evasive maneuvers and the four thought the plane was going down and jumped. 466th Bomb Group collection
