Lawson lost one leg. He left the army after the war but kept flying privately. Cleaver survived his injuries but later lost his life in another crash. The surviving raiders passed through China, where some of the enlisted types were pressed in to service as aircrew. A couple were killed there. David Jones and Ross Greening, among others, were captured in the ETO (Jones was one of the original tunnel captains for "Harry", of Great Escape fame, until the Americans were all transferred to another section of camp).
Is this thread drift , or what?
