By the fall of 1943, he had been shipped to the South West Pacific Area and was eventually assigned to the 501st Bomb Squadron, 345th Bomb Group at Schwimmer Drome, Port Moresby, New Guinea. He spent most of the first three months of 1944 flying with the 2nd Air Task Force (309th Bomb Wing) before transferring back to the 501st.
Lt. Everett was killed with the rest of the crew when B-25 #41-30074 crashed and burned southeast of the airdrome at Dagua, New Guinea on May 21, 1944.
