Ploesti/Pravdomil Sroubek, Ploesti/Pravdomil Sroubek

Dear All,

My first time here, hello.

Please assist me in regard of the following.
I do research about US servicemen that were killed in WW 2 and are/were buried in the US Military Cemetery in Holland, near where I live.
I am searching information about and in particular a picture from:
Pravdomil Sroubek (or Srowbek), Staff Sergeant.
He was killed in action December 22, 1943.
His Army service number: 35324375.
He was from Cuyahoga (County), OH, born 1917.
I conducted a quick review of the 1930 US Federal Census and located the following:
Cleveland, Ohio, Cuyahoga County:
Joseph and Helen Sroubek household. Two children Miroslav age 15, Mill age 12 (I believe “Mill” is a shortened version of Pravdomil) Joseph Sroubek immigrated from Czechoslavakia in 1904, occupation listed as “painter, paint manufacturing”.
In 1943 his mother was living at 3346th East 57th Street in Cleveland, Ohio.

I found his name together with that of Alva J. Geron on a list:
(43-2-12- 3)*GERON, ALVA J.; LISCOMB, RUSSELL P.; SIMPSON, ROBERT V.; PALMQUIST, JAMES E.; KENYON, ARTHUR R.; WOMACK, JOHN B. PHARES, JESSE D.; SROUBEK, PRAVDOMIL; BARR, CREIGHTON;
CLARKE, EDWARD K.
See : http://airforcehistoryindex.org/data/000/877/116.xml

Alva J. Geron was the pilot of Death Dealer during Juggler, as you know.
http://www.airpower.at/news03/0813_luftkri...ark/juggler.htm

The list contains the names on 1943, February, 12th.
Operation Juggler was 1943, August, 13th.

I conclude (hopefully correct) from the above mentioned that Sroubek was a crew member of Death Dealer. The list contains the names on 1943, February, 12th. Operation Juggler was 1943, August, 13th.

Does the picture from the Death Dealer crew at http://www.airpower.at/news03/0813_luftkri...ark/juggler.htm has a caption with names? Or do you perhaps know the names?

Any info/help will be welcome.
　
Thank you in advance, your reply will be appreciated,
best regards from Holland,
