There are several sentences which mention the fate of the different aircraft and crew members throughout the article. It think it would help to add a table that gives a more concise overview.
"Of the 16 crews involved, 14 returned to the United States or reached the safety of American forces, though one man was killed while bailing out. Eight men were captured by Japanese forces in eastern China (the other two crew members having drowned in the sea), and three of them were later executed."
"One crewman, 20-year-old Corporal Leland D. Faktor, flight engineer/gunner with 1st Lt. Robert M. Gray, was killed during his bailout attempt over China, the only man in that crew to be lost. Two crews (10 men) were missing."
"Despite the loss of these 15 aircraft, 69 airmen escaped capture or death, with only three killed in action."
"Two of the missing crewmen, bombardier S/Sgt. William J. Dieter and flight engineer Sgt. Donald E. Fitzmaurice of Hallmark's crew, were found to have drowned when their B-25 crashed into the sea."
"Out of the 80 crewmen, three died, eight were captured, and three were killed in captivity by the Japanese." Vollprofi (talk) 11:31, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
