| Notes |
Born in Dover, New Hampshire on 26 April 1922. MACR No. 03384 Lt. George's wingman, 2/Lt. Frederick West, was directly under George's plane as West dropped his two belly tanks. This resulted in West's plane climbing slightly and cutting off George's boom, (tail) with his propeller. They both bailed out, near Nancy, France. Lt. George was taken prisoner and hospitalised with cuts on his head and a broken left arm. He was later sent to Oberursel and then to Stalag Luft III.
