‘Has the NTSB confirmed the crew’s names yet?’
I think that the pilot’s name was: Wong Uh Tuln
They all purchased round trip non-stop tickets.

The article says it was Flight 007.

Would love to know the story behind that shot.

This aircraft is B-24M-5-FO S/N 44-50468 belonging to 455th Bomb Group 740th Bomber Squadron, 15th Air Force. "Supposedly the result of inadvertent application of brakes during takeoff run, this wartime accident killed six crewmen almost instantly." Jim Holder added that this occurred at San Giovanni April 12, 1945. Pilot listed as James T. Harris. The photographer was not an official AAF photographer but would run out to take pictures of landing/takeoff accidents. This picture was taken about 5 min after the crash.
Thank you very much. A couple of interesting posts on that thread you linked.
