Hello Blair, Are you still out there?
My wife found this old forum discussion during an ancestry online search. My uncle, Robert O. Troyer was a 23 Y/O gunner on this bomber and died with the other crewmembers.
Is there anyway I can get a copy of your brother's article and any information about the crash location? I too got the military records and planned to someday travel to Oklahoma to see the site.

Regards
Bob Troyer

From his profile, looks like it's been a year and a half since he posted. You could try sending him a private message via the forum.
