  4. In November 2005, Kieth Anderson provided the following. The Douglas crew was one of the original crews assigned to the 398th during May 1943 at Geiger Field, Spokane and became an instructor crew when the group moved to Rapid City during June 1943 and was designated as a Replacement Training Unit. Richard Rohrer was promoted to aircraft commander and assigned his own crew after the Group was re-designated as an Operational Training Unit during January 1944.
