Here is a copy of the actual report given by Lt Spain from January 1944. Notice how the pilot John Porter, in his last few seconds of life, knowing full well he is going to die, keeps control of the crashing aircraft and pushes out Spain

Clayton was able to identify the wreckage from the ID tag found at the site from Harry D Tucker who was the gunner on the aircraft at the time

Most of these servicemen were just kids, usually early 20s. The pilot may have been in his late 20s.
