My dad who flew with RCAF #434 on 6 of his crew's last 7 missions in June/July 44 had an extra MUD/AG on the crew, even one with a 2nd pilot as well. The navigator mentioned that they did not like the addition to the crew because he "fired at everything." They may have been alerted to a new danger as on the last flight, that was without a MUD/AG, the rear gunner was uncharacteristically nervously "slewing the turret for the whole flight." This mission Halifax which had a lower gun position did not have the extra gunner.
