Hi Dano I served in the USAF for almost 22 years. A colleague who worked in the American Embassy in Lisbon provided this information but unfortunately does not have the names of casualties. Have you tried the more useful sources such as ancestry.com, genealogy.com? I have an address for a military records repository in St Louis. I will locate the address for you and post it here later on today.
