It looks as though the pilot can be seen, thrown from the wreck, at the far left of the image.

Jeezus, who were they? Where did they find the courage?

To answer Anonymous' question from the 22 Nov 2019:

Pilot - 1st Lt. James L. Knarr, O-797844 (MIA / KIA) Brady Township, PA
Gunner - SSgt Charles G. Reichley, 13093592 (MIA / KIA) Shamokin Dam, PA

This info was found at PacificWrecks.com, but I believe it's available many other places.
