Begin Bio --------------------
Flight Officer Joseph Stephen Shuster, Army serial number T-128796, was born at Madison, Dane County, Wisconsin on March 20, 1918. His family name was Schuster, but the spelling of his surname was changed to Shuster in military records by October 1940, when he registered for the draft.
He was one of four children of Anton J. 'Tony' Schuster (abt 1880 – 1944) and Anna M. (Schwartz) Schuster (1886–1970). His parents were born in the former Austria-Hungary (the Austro-Hungarian Empire). They immigrated to America with their child Mary about 1907. He had three sisters: Mary, Margaret, and Betty. In January 1920 the family lived at Watertown, Wisconsin. By June 1920 they lived at 648 West Main Street, Madison, Dane County, Wisconsin. In 1940 they lived at 935 Williamson Street, Madison, Wisconsin, and his father worked as a laborer.
He completed four years of high school, and registered for the draft at Madison, Wisconsin on October 16, 1940. At that time he worked as a truck driver for the Madison Board of Education. His wife was Lorraine L. (Mergen) Shuster (later Price) (24 Dec 1919 – 24 May 2009). They married at Madison, Wisconsin on July 24, 1941, and lived at 526 Clemons Avenue in Madison. He joined the Madison Fire Department on April 10, 1942, and was assigned as a fireman at No. 6 Station. He enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps at Madison, Wisconsin on October 3, 1942. Joseph and Lorraine Shuster had two children, Judith and Mildred; the children's last name changed to Price after Lorraine remarried in 1947.
In January 1943 the Army assigned him to the 20th College Training Detachment (Air Crew) at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky, to prepare for aviation cadet training. There he studied math, physics, English, history, and geography. He also participated in military drill and physical training, and learned medical aid and flight skills.
He completed Army Air Forces navigator training and was assigned to the heavy bomber crew of Lt William J. Waldron. The Waldron crew completed B-17 operational training at Ardmore, Oklahoma, and was assigned to the 836th Bomb Squadron, 487th Bomb Group, at Army Air Forces Station 137 near Lavenham, Suffolk, England. They arrived in England by October 19, 1944, and became part of the 8th U.S. Army Air Force in Europe. Here is Lt Waldron's crew roster on December 24, 1944:
B-17G 43-38926 – 836th Bomb Squadron

On December 24, 1944, the 8th Air Force launched mission #760, the largest aerial mission of the war, which involved more than 2000 heavy bombers. The mission was to bomb German airfields and supply lines to stop the German offensive in the Ardennes known as the Battle of the Bulge. The 487th Bomb Group led the entire 8th Air Force that day. Lt Waldron's crew flew B-17G 43-38926 in the number nine position in the Low Squadron of the 487th Bomb Group formation. The Group's target was the airfield at Babenhausen, Germany, but the formation was attacked by German fighters before reaching the target. Flight Officer Shuster and five of his crewmates were killed in action when their aircraft was shot down by German fighters south of Liege, Belgium. Three men were blown clear and survived when the aircraft exploded in the air. The B-17 crashed near Rouvreux, Belgium, about 15 miles south of Liege.
He is buried at Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery, Belgium, in Plot H, Row 15, Grave 12.
