i've searched for like two hours, couldn't find much but i did find a couple cool resources for you

http://www.tom.pilsch.com/history.html#W2AC-AAF

https://www.7thfighter.com/historys/histories.htm this one has a ton of pdfs which are neat to look at.

http://www.tom.pilsch.com/aviation.html lots of info.

https://www.amazon.com/Straight-Level-Growing-up-40s/dp/0595261310 jack botts a guy from Nebraska who was in the 414th

http://www.ibiblio.org/cizewski/signalcorps/422nightfightersquadron/history.pdf 422th, don't know if its relevant but included it anyways

http://www.tom.pilsch.com/VII_FighterCommand-StatisticalSurvey.pdf

i've searched for names but couldn't find anything definite, obviously searching thru hours of pdfs is not easy and given record keeping in the 40s is not perfect but surprisingly a lot of things well kept. another name that i saw a lot was urban drew who flew in the 414th, might drum something up, but i think my eyes need a break.
