During the Korean War, what B-29 crew roles did the abbreviations IVO, CFC, and VC mean?

I reached out to the Korean War Education Site, who were quite courteous and responsive. I will quote their answer below (I have removed personal information since they didn't grant permission to use names).
Can’t verify but seem to recall that the VO was the radar operator. RO would have been the Radio Operator, thus the V. The “I” would indicate Instructor, so IVO would be the instructor radar operator. Don’t recall ever using the VC designation. It could be a either a command or crew chief position. Rank would help narrow it. I also believe I remember that the crash occurred at night, followed by an explosion the shook our hut. When we saw the flames, everyone who witnessed it agreed that there could be no survivors. We were happily astonished when we learned there were no fatalities. Apparently one of the crew died later.The Korean War Educator
