Why were Jews over-represented? I think it was because so many Jewish teens in the late 30's were ham radio hobbyists, and also did well on math tests. They were over-represented in the Air Corps as radio operators and navigators, not necessarily as tail gunners. My own cousin as a teenager was working with Lee DeForest on television in the 30's!

On Thursday evening, The Museum of Jewish Heritage presented a documentary, Bagels Over Berlin, that told the story of the thousands of Jewish young men who volunteered, fought, and died in the Army Air Corps in World War II. There were a disproportionately high number of Jewish fighters in relation to the number of Jews in the general population. And, the Air Corps was one of the most dangerous assignment.
