My dad (since deceased) was on this mission, too. Although he never, ever spoke about the war, he did have a Distinguished Flying Cross. Is there an internet site dedicated to these men? He was a tail gunner.

Perhaps, you'll find your dad here.

376th Heavy Bombardment Group

My dad was a Seabee on Guadalcanal. And, like yours, he never spoke of his experiences there. We and the country were blessed to have such fathers.

If you know what bomb group he was in you can start their. I have found a few mission reports on internet but can't give you a specific sight.

Their is a video of the mission that was made sveral years ago.{"Wing & A Prayer")I picked it up at the Army Air Corps Museum.If you are ever near Savannah it is a great place to visit.Their are also several displays at the Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio.
