ferry flight to Port Moresby, New Guinea 1May42.
After a routine fuel stop at Cooktown May 1, 1942, the aircraft, part of a six-aircraft formation,
ran into a severe storm before reaching the next scheduled stop at Horn Island. The pilot of this
aircraft elected to land near Weipa, QLD; one of the main wheels ran into a shallow
ditch causing the leg to collapse and the aircraft to skid along the ground. Another pilot
crash landed nearby and both pilots had to walk for two days to find the coast and ultimate rescue.
The two wrecks were discovered in 1963 and this aircraft was
recovered in 1972 by Sid Beck. Under restoration at Beck Aviation and Military Museum,
Mareeba, QLD, Australia. Displayed at Sid Beck/Beck Military Collection, Mareeba,

Both engines failed with fuel contamination and force landed on a bank of the river
Niger southwest of Kaduna, Nigeria, en route Accra, Gold Coast to Kano, Nigeria 19Sep42 [4 injured].
Having crossed a mountain in a rain storm, the plane broke out in clear weather down at 11,000 feet
when the left engine oversped and the propeller went into fine pitch.
The engine was shut down, the plane lost 3,000 feet altitude and would not continue to fly on one engine.
Looking for a place to force land, the other engine oversped and had to be shut down.
The plane crash landed on a high river bank and, at speed, tore through the jungle as the
wings sheared but did not break free. With the plane on fire, the crew escaped, one badly burned.
Local natives summoned a nearby British army detachment and were taken to Kaduna, Nigeria.

Conflict:
N33644 (MSN 4123) has had a long and illustrious history. A DC-3-197, it was originally ordered by United Airlines.
It was diverted briefly to the USAAF as a C-52C-DO (serial 41-7701) but released almost immediately
to Western Air Lines (who had an inter-line arrangement with United in those days) in 1942.
When sold off by Western in 1958 it was to have gone to Sheikh Al Sabah in Kuwait as G-APKO.
Probably the old bird didn't measure up to his Royal Highness' standards and the deal did not go through.
It was sold instead to Catalina Pacific Airlines. They held it for a year or so and then it went to
Standard Airways. It then had several private owners and is still current, having been restored in
pseudo 1930s Western Air Express livery. I say 'pseudo' since, by the time NC33644 was delivered
the airline was, to my knowledge, known only as Western Air Lines and probably never did carry
the 'Air Express' Indian Head logo. The plane may never have been impressed.

Fifth Air Force. 93rd Bomb Squadron, 19th Bomb Group, Batchelor Field, near Darwin, NT, Australia.
Accident returning from a mission to a Japanese airfield at Kendari, Celebes 30Jun/1Jul42 (3KIA:3INJ).
The airfield was being used as a huge staging center for Japanese combat planes.
Reconnaissance missions revealed that over one hundred Zero fighters and a great number of bombers
were massed on the field. Five B-17s took off from Batchelor airfield in the afternoon in order
to arrive over the target just before sunset.
The mission was planned to capitalize on knowledge of the area and terrain to make an
attack at low altitude, if necessary.
When he took off on the mission, the pilot knew that one engine was burning too much
oil and he planned to come back on three after he dropped his bomb load on Kendari,
knowing he would have the cover of darkness.
As the formation approached, the crews saw that it would have to be a low-altitude approach.
There were three separate layers of overcast.
They used them to conceal their approach to the airfield after crossing the bay, only five minutes run from the airdrome.
One bomb made a direct hit on three bombers on the airfield, another on one of the largest buildings in the camp area.
The crews thought that they did serious damage to between thirty and forty planes.
As they passed over the target area, the crews were heaving bundles of incendiaries out of the side gun window.
As soon as they passed over the airfield, crews used the feathery low clouds for cover as much as they could.
Only one Zero fighter came up to intercept the bombers from one of the satellite airfields about
twenty miles south of Kendari, but he shot up this plane badly; leading the second flight,
it took all of the hits, the extent was not completely known.
The no.3 engine was shot out and the right aileron had been severely damaged.
On return to Darwin after midnight, the crew was unable to find the airfield because of a pending Japanese air raid.
Then no.4 engine failed and the propeller was feathered.
Unfortunately, it was on the same side as the one that was already feathered.
As the crew was trying to get the inboard engine started, the controls on the same side,
which had been badly shot up, gave way and the plane spun in on its nose.
Three of the crew died that night from injuries sustained in the crash; all of the others were injured.
The plane crashed near Noonamah and Hughes airfield, twenty miles southeast of Darwin.

North Atlantic Division, Air Transport Command, Presque Isle Field, ME.
Ferried overseas on the North Atlantic route via Goose Bay, Labrador.
During ferry flight from Goose Bay, Labrador en route UK, the aircraft became lost in bad
weather and low on fuel between Bluie West Eight, Kangerlussuaq, Greenland and Iceland.
Force landed on an ice cap near Bluie West Eight, Kangerlussuaq, Greenland 27Jun42 (10RMC).
The glare of the sun and snow prevented the depth perception needed by the pilot for a safe landing so,
as he made a pass over his intended landing spot, he had the crew throw out some baggage.
Then, able to see the baggage, the pilot made a crash landing on the ice but the rear fuselage
separated and the front fuselage and wings overturned without crew injuries.
Unable to run any engines with the propellers dug into the ice, the crew sawed off the
blade from the no.4 propeller so that the engine could be run to power a generator for the radio.
The following afternoon, B-17F 41-9043, with Colonel Bert Balchen onboard, homed in on the
emergency signal and found the crew. Supplies were dropped pending the crew’s rescue.
Included in the supplies were some condoms [why?], some of which were used as a balloon
to raise a radio antenna. On the third day, Balchen and a pilot landed on a lake about twelve
miles short of the crash site and skied to the bomber. The crew was taken back to the lake
and, despite snow storms, the airmen were taken in a shuttle of regular flights between the
lake and base camp during the next ten days.
Condemned 23Nov42. Named MY GAL SAL. Named for the crew’s favourite song.
The wreck was rediscovered in 1964. Salvaged remains were brought out in August 1995 and
stored at the Tillamook Air Museum for five years.
Purchased for a static restoration and displayed at the Ultimate Sacrifice Memorial,
Blue Ash Airport, Cincinnati. To the National World War II Museum, New Orleans, LA and

Named PEGGY D / LITTLE ROCKETTE. The US Postal Service issued a 1997 series of stamps depicting
twenty different "classic aircraft". Bill Phillips, an aviation artist from Ashland, Oregon, is said to
have worked for two years doing the paintings for the stamps from historic photos.
One of these is of a B-17G, the Flying Fortress of World War II fame. The picture used for the B-17
stamp was taken in England on August 5, 1944, by a photographer from Life Magazine.
The B-17 Stamp picture is one of many taken by the Life photographer that day. His pictures were
rather special because they were on color film and made under the most favorable conditions -- not on a combat mission.
A squadron of six planes was assigned for formation practice.
The photographer had made arrangements to be flown in the Group's older B-17E, (41-9043, "Peggy D", and later "Little Rockette")
which was stripped of all armament and used for transport, and he could be seen taking pictures from the
wide open waist windows. Also, the 355th Fighter Group was invited to send a P-51 to fly with the formation
as if providing fighter escort in combat. They sent one of their most renowned fighter planes (named "The Iowa Beaut" by
Robert Hulderman for an Iowa lass) which had been credited with at least ten air victories but was lost soon
thereafter on September 11, 1944

The American President and Members of Congress needed to know how effective the American
fighting machine had become in modern trench-less warfare.
A team of specialists was assembled and despatched to the front line to see at firsthand what was happening.
They were to report back to the President enabling the US Government to formulate strategies that would
overcome any inadequacies, if they indeed existed.
On the 14th December 1942 a team led by Lt. General Jacob Loucks Devers set out on a journey that
would take until the 28th January 1943 to complete having travelled almost 29,000 miles in the process.
The team consisted of: Lieutenant General Jacob Loucks Devers; Major General Edward Hale Brooks;
Brigadier General Gladeon Marcus Barnes; Brigadier General Williston Birkhimer Palmer;
Colonel William Thaddeus Sexton; Major Earle Lyn Hormell.
The group departed Washington, DC arriving Khartoum, Egypt 18th December, visiting units
along the North African coast to French Morocco by 6th January 1943.
After a week’s rest in Gibraltar, the group departed for England early morning 15th January.
Navigational errors were made; General Devers did not want to fly over the Brest Peninsula,
pushing the aircraft further west than planned.
The navigator was unable to contact any Allied ground stations for a fix and the crew became lost.
Unknowingly, they were over Eire, a neutral country and low on fuel.
The aircraft force landed at Athenry where the crew and passengers should have been interned
for the duration of the war. However, the Irish were pro-American and considered the flight as
non-combatant. They allowed the passengers a safe passage to Northern Ireland.
The pilots were interned until later in the year. The group returned to the US departing Prestwick,
Scotland 24th January 1943 via Marrakech, French Morocco and Trinidad, arriving Washington, DC on 28th January 1943.

knocked off and rolled under the wing of the bomber, fortunately without exploding.

The bomber was the prize in a bet between General Sir Bernard Montgomery, Commander British Eighth Army, and General Eisenhower
“The Fortress aircraft was given to me by General Eisenhower in April 1943, after I had captured Sfax.
He came to visit me at my Army HQ shortly after the Battle of Mareth. It was the 2nd April and I was
busy preparing to attack the Akarit position and then to burst through the Gabès Gap and out into
the plain of central Tunisia. I told General Eisenhower that when I had captured Sfax there would be
need for considerable co-ordination between the action of the Allied Armies in Tunisia and this
might mean a good deal of travelling about for me. I asked him if he would give me a Fortress (B-17).
The splendid armament of these aircraft makes an escort quite unnecessary and I would be able
to travel at will and to deal easily with any enemy opposition. I said I would make him a present
of Sfax by the middle of April and if he would then give me a Fortress it would be magnificent.
I captured Sfax on 10th April and the Fortress was sent to me a few days later. BL Montgomery, General, Eighth Army”
Montgomery won the bet and got the use of the plane and a flight crew from the 99th Bomb Group,
Navarin (Overcoat), El Eulma, Algeria 17Apr43.
Headquarters, British Eighth Army, Tripoli, Libya Apr43. Air Depot, Châteaudun-du-Rhumel (Helen), Constantine, Algeria Jul43.
Used for flying Monty and British VIPs to Palermo for a conference with General George Patton regarding the
ongoing campaign in Sicily.
Prior to the flight, General Patton had advised Monty that the airfield at Palermo “was satisfactory for all types of aircraft”.
However, upon arrival over the airfield, it quickly became clear that Patton's aviation knowledge did not match his expertise in tank warfare.
The runway looked alarmingly short for a large aircraft such as the B-17 and a C-47 had run the full length of the
runway before crashing in flames into the trees at one end of the airfield.
Touching down an initial touch of the brakes revealed that the brakes had failed. T
he bomber was ground looped in an attempt to avoid meeting the same fate as the C-47 that had crashed earlier
and ploughing into its wreckage.
A potential disaster was turned into a very rough landing, almost a controlled crash and the B-17 was
taxyed up to about fifty feet from where General Patton was waiting to greet his British guests.

The aircraft was one of a pair that took off on a mission against Japanese warships
two hundred miles southwest of Dutch Harbor, Aleutian Islands 4Jun42.
Bad weather left the bombers flying through fog and freezing temperatures.
The planes’ radars picked up Admiral Kakuji Kakuta’s Japanese aircraft carriers.
The accompanying B-17 descended for a bomb run through the scattered fog but
did not damage the Japanese fleet. This B-17 descended to attack from 800' at a
closer range and targeted the Japanese cruiser, Takao.
Right before releasing its bombs, it was shot down by the cruiser before getting into
range and the plane exploded. Assigned to BRONZE (Eleventh Air Force, Kodiak, Alaska) 5Jun42. Condemned 4Jun42

Flown on first Eighth Air Force mission to the railway marshalling yards at
Sotteville-lès-Rouen, France 17Aug42.
Severely battle damaged during a mission to the shipyards at Rotterdam, Netherlands 21Aug42 (1KIA:1WIA).
The formation was late for its fighter escort and wouldn’t be able to protect the bombers to the target.
With the Dutch coast in sight, the mission was recalled and the Allied fighters returned to their base.
At that point, a flight of German fighters arrived and attacked the formation.
A cannon shell went through the right windscreen, the cockpit was wrecked and the top turret was blown out.
The co-pilot was killed, the pilot was injured by flying Plexiglas and too seriously wounded to fly the plane.
The bombardier, who had failed pilot training, took the controls.
Two engines were losing power but with advice from the wounded pilot,
the bombardier managed to bring the plane back to England, landing safely at RAF Horsham St Faith, Norwich, Norfolk.

Assigned to BOLERO (strategic movement of aircraft to Great Britain) 26Jun42; [tactical call sign WR9S].
Ferried overseas on the North Atlantic route via Goose Bay, Labrador 26Jun42.
During ferry flight from Goose Bay, Labrador en route UK, fog over Greenland prevented a
landing and the plane turned back to Labrador. With fuel exhaustion, the plane ditched in
Narsarsuaq Fjord, near Bluie West Three, Narsak, Greenland, and sank in 1,500ft of water,
thirty-five miles southwest of Bluie West One, Narsarsuaq, Greenland 27Jun42 (12RMC).
An island in the fjord was used by the crew to jettison clothing, tins of gasoline, food and other supplies before the plane ditched.
Good crew discipline permitted the crew to evacuate into dinghies before the plane sank.
The Allied radio station at Bluie West Three had fixed the location of the crash site and,
within hours, a Coast Guard cutter had taken the airmen onboard. Condemned 15Jul42.

427th Bomb Squadron, 303rd Bomb Group, Biggs Field, El Paso, TX 19Aug42.
Crashed fifteen miles west of Las Cruces, NM 23Aug42 (7KIS:2RMC).
The B-17 departed Biggs on a night navigational flight that would take the
bomber from El Paso to Boise, Idaho and back.
Soon after departing Biggs Field, the pilot encountered some lightning and moderate rain
as he climbed through heavy cloud banks to 13,500 feet.
Soon after the pilot instructed everyone to wear their oxygen masks, the aircraft began to shake and shudder.
Strong centrifugal forces held two airmen to the floor of the radio compartment.
Unable to move, the two men were finally saved from the stricken bomber when the
rear section of the fuselage broke apart at the radio room, tossing both men into the thundering night sky.
They immediately pulled their ripcords and hit the ground within a few seconds.
The bomber crashed nearby. Investigators speculated that the plane may have been struck by lightning,
but more likely was the fact that the pilot encountered some trouble near 13,500 feet and he was unable to recover.
The strong centrifugal forces may have been the pilot suddenly pulling up when he saw how close to the
ground he was after he saw the lights of Las Cruces in the distance.
The centrifugal forces caused stress on the airframe that it could not handle and the bomber literally
began to break apart in the sky.

Foggia #7, Amendola, Italy 16Jan44. During a mission over southern Europe this B-17 had a
load of anti-personnel bombs dropped on it from an aircraft flying above in formation.
Some of the bombs were embedded in the left wing. The crew feared an imminent explosion
but nonetheless elected to try and fly the airplane back to base, but later decided to land
at Pomligiano airfield near Naples, Italy. After landing, the bombs were removed and made
the airplane relatively safe. {33+ missions}. The 38th Air Depot Repair Squadron was assigned
the task to repair the airplane but after evaluation of the damage and considering the
war-weary condition of the nearly obsolete B-17E, recommended it for salvage. The unit
commander, however, overruled that assessment, believing that they were salvaging
too many repairable airplanes. A crew was assigned the months-long task of repairing
the airplane. It departed Pomligiano to a destination and assignment unknown.
38th Air Depot Group, Air Technical Service Command, Gioia del Colle airfield, Bari, Italy c.Mar44.
The depot unofficially adopted the B-17E and converted it to be used for squadron transportation.
The airplane was stripped of all combat gear including turrets and gun mounts and armor.

459th Bomb Squadron, 330th Bomb Group, Alamogordo Field, NM 2Oct42.
Crashed and burned out six miles southeast Magdalena, NM 15Oct42 (9KIS).
The crew was assigned for a night training mission to several targets around
Carrizozo, Vaughn, Albuquerque, west of Socorro and Magdalena, New Mexico.
After Albuquerque, the crew navigated southwards by visually following the Rio Grande.
Once clear of Ladron Peak, the navigator commanded a course to the southwest for
the La Jencia Basin, west of Socorro Peak, for some low-level flight manoeuvres.
Flying below 1,000 feet, the crew located several targets placed on the plains
for flight and bombing practice. The lights from the village of Magdalena came into view.
Continuing, the B–17 approached Magdalena from the northeast for a bombing run
on the airstrip northeast of town. Flying at only 700 feet, the B-17 crossed the small
airstrip, circled over the village, and made a second pass over the airstrip.
With the evening's mission completed, it was time to return to Alamogordo.
The airplane took up a heading of southeast and started climbing. It struck the
northwest slope of North Baldy Peak approximately six miles from Magdalena at 9,500 foot elevation,
only 75 feet from the peak. The tail section remained on the northwest side of the mountain;
engines, wings, and fuselage catapulted over the crest to the southeast side of the mountain
and caught fire, burning all night.
The right wing separated and fell into the deep canyon south of the peak with two of the engines.
Surveyed 2Nov42. SOC 18Feb43. All aboard killed.

Took off from Mareeba airfield to refuel at Jackson Field (7 Mile Drome), Port Moresby
then participated on a mission against a Japanese airfield at Vunakanau near Rabaul, New Britain 5Oct42.
Over the target at 24,000 feet at dawn, the weather was clear but a cloud was over the target,
requiring the formation to go around for another bomb run.
Because of the delay, the formation was attacked by approximately twenty-five Japanese
Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighters making head on attacks directed against the lead aircraft and this B-17.
After about the third attack, this bomber was seen to have a propeller feathered and shortly thereafter
smoke was seen coming from another engine.
The aircraft left the formation and was last seen entering a small cloud with eleven Zeros in pursuit.
The aircraft failed to return and was missing in action over Vunakanau, New Britain [9MIA].

Battle damaged on a reconnaissance mission from Jackson Field (7 Mile Drome),
Port Moresby, New Guinea over Kavieng and then Rabaul, New Britain 13Jul42.
The enemy at Kavieng notified Rabaul that the American bomber was on its way.
Having taken the reconnaissance photographs over Rabaul, the plane was attacked by enemy fighters.
Cannon shells tore into each wing and shot open the bomb bay doors.
With the manual winding system damaged, it was not possible to close the doors.
A bullet passed through a cockpit front window and shattered the co-pilot’s side window.
No.4 engine was badly damaged and the propeller could not be feathered which continued to windmill.
Eventually the bomber reached the safety of some clouds.
Returning from the mission, with the drag from the propeller and bomb bay doors,
the pilot would have to gain altitude to cross the Owen Stanley mountains which were shrouded with clouds.
Giving full power to the good engines, the pilot managed to climb above the overcast,
find a pass and reached Port Moresby to land safely with just a few minutes fuel remaining.
Took off from Jackson Field (7 Mile Drome), Port Moresby, New Guinea on a reconnaissance
mission over Faisi in the northern Solomon Islands and Rabaul, New Britain 24Sep42 (10RMC).
Returning from the mission, the aircraft became lost in bad weather and ditched in shallow
water in Orangerie Bay, New Guinea after twelve hours and ten minutes airborne.
None of the crew was hurt in the ditching. Assigned to LEFT (Fifth Air Force, Brisbane, Australia).

Equipped with SCR-521 ASV search radar with a dipole antenna in the nose and additional
antenna wires above the fuselage and below the wings.
The SCR-521 radar was not effective and increased drag reducing range; it was removed by late Apr43.
Took off on a photographic reconnaissance mission to record the damage caused the previous day
over Rabaul, New Britain 9Oct42 (1KIA:1WIA).
Over the target the plane avoided anti-aircraft fire but was then intercepted by three Japanese
Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighters.
Hit by gunfire that damaged the no.4 engine, the pilot feathered the propeller and fuel was leaking from the left wing.
The tail gunner was struck in the back and killed; the co-pilot (RAAF) was wounded when a bullet penetrated
his control column, striking his chest and knocking him out of his seat.
With friendly fighter escort back to Port Moresby, the no.3 engine failed on final approach to land.

Took off from Jackson Field (7 Mile Drome), Port Moresby on an armed reconnaissance mission over the
northern and southern coast of New Britain 1Jun43 (1KIA:5MIA:4POW).
Six hours into the flight, the plane was attacked by a dozen Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighters
from 251 Kokutai over the Gasmata area.
The bomber was quickly struck by gunfire hitting the bomber's fuel tank near the no.2 engine
causing a fuel leak that ignited into a long flame extending past the tail.
In the cockpit, the pilot activated the fire suppression system but moments later the fire resumed
with even greater intensity. Realizing the fire was out of control, he ordered the crew to bail out as
the wing was starting to disintegrate.
Meanwhile, the bombardier opened the bomb bay doors and jettisoned the bombs to allow the
crew to bail out. Inside the bomb bay standing on the catwalk were the radio operator and
engineer. As both prepared to bail out they became trapped by the G-force as the bomber began
to dive. Gasoline vapours caused an explosion at an altitude of roughly 6,000 feet.
Five crewmen were blown clear of the bomber by the fuel tank explosion.
Only two were wearing parachutes.
After the explosion, the plane began breaking up before it crashed near the summit of Hong Kong
mountain on the eastern aspect of Waterfall Bay inland from the southern coast of New Britain.

Accident during an early morning takeoff from Jackson Field for a mission to Rabaul, New Britain 12Apr43 (11KIA).
As the plane started down the runway and before it had covered half of it, the right wheel was observed to be on
fire as it was retracted into the engine nacelle, the flames trailing the length of the plane.
The left wheel drum must have started cracking and noticing it the pilot quickly climbed a couple of
hundred feet which made the engines stall going into a sixty degree left bank before diving nose straight down.
The three 500lb bombs aboard exploded and all aboard were killed instantly.
A dead wallaby was later found on the runway, but it is not known if this was the cause of the crash.

fuel tank as one of ten B-17s on a flight to Midway airfield, Eastern Island, Midway Atoll Jun42.
Missing during the Battle of Midway 5Jun42 (9MIA).
The plane took off from Midway airfield on a mission to the northeast to locate the Japanese fleet
retreating after the Battle of Midway.
The weather was cloudy to the north with heavy overcast at 12,000 feet and the bombers were
unable to find the task force.
The bombers located a heavy cruiser roughly 425 miles off Midway and made a bombing run
from 11,000 feet. The cruiser (likely Mogami or Mikuma) manoeuvred violently and
responded with anti-aircraft fire. During a second bomb run, this plane’s bomb bay fuel tank was
observed to fall from the bomber when it released its remaining bombs,
possibly as a result of damage by anti-aircraft fire, and dropped out of formation.

431st Bomb Squadron, 11th Bomb Group, Bomber 1 airfield (Palikulo Field), Espiritu Santo, New Hebrides.
Took off from Palikulo Field piloted by the Commanding Officer of the 431st Bomb Squadron on a
solo flight to the recently captured Henderson Field (Cactus), Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands 17Aug42.
This B-17 was the first U.S. Army bomber to land at the newly captured airfield.
Took off from Henderson Field armed with two 1,000 pound bombs on a mission to a Japanese airfield
on Buka Island, New Guinea 13Oct42.
The weather was poor with a storm as it started the bomb run.
Over the target, the first element bombed parked planes with the second element bombing the runway and
observed fighters taking off which soon afterwards began attacks on the formation.
The formation made a run on a secondary target at Erventa Harbor (Buin Harbor) on southern Bougainville.
The bomber was targeted by the fighters as it spotted thirty-four ships and attempted a bomb run
from 11,000 feet in the face of anti-aircraft fire.
Attacked by Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighters, the plane sustained some damage and returned
to Henderson Field. The crew found it under attack by a Japanese air raid and had to circle as the
attackers were intercepted and damage to the runway was repaired.
After landing safely, the bomber was dispersed when a second air raid commenced but was not damaged.
Flown away from Henderson Field to evacuate the area southward to Bomber 1 (Palikulo Field), Espiritu Santo early morning 14Oct42.
Took off from Palikulo Field armed with four 500 pound bombs on a mission against five Japanese naval transports off Guadalcanal 15Oct42.
Following the bomb run, the formation was intercepted by a flight of Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighters
that made aggressive attacks. A single Zero made an attack from astern on this B-17;
although the bomber sustained some damage, it returned safely.

Failed to return from a mission from Bomber 1 airfield (Palikulo Field), Espiritu Santo, New Hebrides
to locate a Japanese task force reported near the Santa Cruz Islands, Solomon Islands 11Sep42 (1INJ:8RMC).
The plane was suddenly struck by anti-aircraft fire which disabled one engine and the left wing was damaged.
The pilot tried to keep in contact with another plane which was equipped with radar but was unable to keep
up with the reduced engine power. In mid-afternoon the plane ran into a heavy storm front and the crew was
unable to find the target.
After searching the area for several hours the plane headed back to its base.
In the meantime the storm had become an impenetrable wall, extending up for over 40,000 feet.
The pilot could find no way around it, so had to go through it.
By late afternoon the plane was far off course and unable to contact base.
Darkness was closing in rapidly; still in heavy clouds and it was very cold.
The radio operator finally contacted base and knew the plane was somewhere near the
New Hebrides. Now low on fuel, it was apparent that it would be unable to reach the airfield.
The crew jettisoned the bomb load and then started tossing out the rest of the equipment to lighten the plane.
With only forty minutes of fuel remaining, the crew sighted the dim outlines of a tiny island just ahead.
The pilot circled for about thirty minutes.
After midnight (12Sep42), with only fifteen minutes of fuel remaining, the pilot set the plane
down on the water about one mile off shore. The crew discovered later that the plane had landed
on a reef in only eight feet of water. Using the life rafts, the crew paddled to a beach;
They spent three days and four nights on that beach.
On the second day a search plane flew over and saw them; later another plane dropped food and water.
The following day a US Navy PBY picked up the crew and learned that they had been on an uninhabited Japanese island.

he managed to drop their four 500lbs bombs before collapsing.
65th Bomb Squadron, 43rd Bomb Group, Mareeba, QLD Nov42.
Battle damaged on a shuttle mission via Jackson Field (7 Mile Drome), Port Moresby, New Guinea
to a force of Japanese destroyers heading for Buna, New Guinea 8Dec42.
The plane had been attacked during the mission by enemy fighters and returned
to Port Moresby with damage to a main wing spar and the hydraulic system.
One of seven B-17s that took off from Jackson Field (7 Mile Drome), Port Moresby
on a mission against a Japanese convoy in the Huon Gulf off Lae 8Jan43 (1KIA:1DOI:1WIA:6INJ).
Over the target, anti-aircraft guns opened fire and enemy fighters intercepted.
This B-17 was the second to bomb and was hit by anti-aircraft fire damaging two engines,
the nose and tail, wounding the bombardier and tail gunner.
The pilots could neither climb nor turn. The pilot headed up a small valley but
couldn't fly over the mountains. He knew it was just a matter of time, so began looking for a
soft place to force land. The plane glided in on the side of a mountain at about 110 miles an hour;
there were no trees. nothing but grass so it slid along in a crash landing.
The plane had force landed on a hillside near Kaisinik below Black Cat Pass to the east of Wau.
The fuselage broke aft of the radio compartment. Assigned to LEFT (Fifth Air Force, Brisbane, Australia).
Condemned 9Jan43. SOC 10Oct46. Wreck is still intact, although the USAAF insignia has worn off
exposing the RAF roundels. Today, the wreck is one of the most impressive and easily accessible aircraft
wrecks in Papua New Guinea.

During the night the aircraft took off from Mareeba airfield on a shuttle mission via Port Moresby, New Guinea
against the Buin-Faisi anchorage (Tonolei Harbor) Solomon Islands 28Oct42.
After midnight (29Oct42) the crew had not found their target so jettisoned the bombs and
started back to Port Moresby. Their maps were poor and the navigator’s watch was broken
so he could not use celestial navigation. The crew finally had a heading for Townsville, QLD.
Running low on fuel, the pilot ditched about twenty miles off the Cape York peninsula near
Cooktown on the Great Barrier Reef 29Oct42 (9RMC).
The pilot made a good sea landing and the crew climbed out of the radio hatch into the life rafts
along with some water, flares, emergency kit, etc.
Although the pilot had tried to set the plane down in shallow water over a reef, it went off the reef
and sunk in about two minutes. The crew was unhurt and floated in the sea for two days
until located by a group of Australian Aboriginals and returned to the mainland at Portland.
Taken to the 43rd Bomb Group base at Iron Range then transported back to Mareeba airfield to rejoin their squadron.
Assigned to LEFT (Fifth Air Force, Brisbane, Australia). Condemned 1Nov42. SOC 10Oct46.

Detached to RAF Chivenor, Devon 23Jan43.
The crew took off from RAF Chivenor on an anti-submarine patrol 1Mar43.
They sighted and attacked U-223 causing minor damage.
As the aircraft approached the U-Boat, gunners opened fire hitting the aircraft on its approach run.
The aircraft sustained damage. The hydraulic system was rendered unserviceable causing a big
spurt of oil in the pilot and navigator compartments.
Throttle control to no.4 engine was severed and automatic pilot rendered unserviceable.
The aircraft filled with smoke.
Five depth charges were released from a height of 60-80ft aimed to fall from port bow to starboard quarter.
Three explosions were seen, the nearest being twenty feet from starboard side of the submarine’s hull,
two thirds the distance from conning tower to bow. At least six men were seen on the submarine,
four in the conning tower and two on deck aft.
The rear gunner in the Fortress raked the deck of the submarine but no casualties were observed.
After the depth charges had exploded, the submarine appeared to lose way and stop.
The Fortress pilot flew out of range to investigate damage to his aircraft, returning one minute later to the scene of the attack.
The submarine had then submerged. A patch of depth charge scum was observed merging into swirl.
Baiting tactics were carried out for seventeen minutes, but nothing further was seen on return and aircraft set course for base.
Damage to the U-boat was slight and docked at St. Nazaire in occupied France 6Mar43.

Took off from Jackson Field with only a bomb bay fuel tank on a photographic reconnaissance
mission planned for 30,000 feet over Rabaul, New Britain 2Feb43.
While at 25,000 feet, before reaching Rabaul, the no.2 engine lost oil pressure
and the propeller could not be feathered.
One generator failed and the plane could not climb further,
slowly beginning to descend. Over Rabaul, enemy fighters were observed and the
harbour was crammed with Japanese vessels. The plane made two photographic runs
and was targeted by anti-aircraft fire that damaged the engines but the bomber
completed the photographic mission with no.3 and no.4 engines emitting smoke and oil.
It was attacked by Japanese fighters that made fifteen passes before breaking off their attacks.
A 20mm cannon shell exploded nearby that stunned the navigator and bombardier.
When the fighters broke off, the B-17 had descended to 8,000 feet when the no.2 engine
regained roughly half power. The bomber force landed at Dobodura airfield, New Guinea.
None of the crew were seriously injured.
The damage sustained on this mission took a month to repair.
The plane took off from Jackson Field during the afternoon of 20May43 flying northward to
stage from Dobodura airfield, New Guinea where a bomb load of 300lbs bombs and 20lbs
fragmentation cluster bomb were loaded for a night mission over Rabaul, New Britain.
Early the next morning it took off from Dobodura airfield to bomb Japanese airfields at
Vunakanau and Rapopo on the Gazelle Peninsula of New Britain, then return to base at Port Moresby.
The aircraft arrived at the initial point over the Warangoi River to begin its bombing run.
Tracked by a Nakajima J1N1 Irving night fighter, the pilot manoeuvred below the B-17
and opened fire with its obliquely mounted 20mm cannons.
The bomber was struck from below in the no.3 and no.4 engines.
A few seconds later, the no.1 and no.2 engines were hit and the bombs ignited.
The pilot turned the stricken plane to the southeast and headed for the St Georges Channel
and ordered the crew to bail out. Only two crew members were able to parachute out, the rest
of the crew perished when the B-17 crashed into the sea and exploded on impact,
ripping off the tail and wing (10MIA:1EVD).
Assigned to LEFT (Fifth Air Force, Brisbane, Australia).
Condemned 23May43. SOC 10Oct46. Named HONI KUU OKOLE (Hawaiian for ‘kiss my ass’).

The aircraft had almost collided with no.206 Squadron Fortress FL457 [41-9229] that was being ground
taxyed by another crew along the active runway.
This forced the pilot of FL454, which was halfway through its takeoff,
to pull the controls back and attempt to climb over the obstructing aircraft, in
disregard of sufficient airspeed. The plane succeeded in missing, only to stall into
the sea at the far end of the runway. The remains are still visible at low tide. SOC 16Oct42 at 65.45 flying hours.

10410/11586 Vultee BT-13A Valiant
10414 W/o 5 Jun 1944 at Itta Bena, MS
10418 (MSN 2735) received by the USAAF at Gunter Field, Montgomery, Alabama and assigned on Dec 18th to
Gunter AAF (8th Basic Flying Training Group, AAF Eastern Flying Training Command).
In October 1942, our Vultee was reassigned to the AAF (6th Basic Flying Training Group, Army Air Forces
Eastern Flying Training Command) in Greenville, Mississippi. It was used as a primary trainer
at that base for student military pilots until January 1945 when it was moved to the
4007th AAF Base Unit (Mobile Air Technical Service Center) at Brookley Field in Mobile, Alabama.
From there it served briefly with the 2156th AAF Base Unit (ATSC) in Decatur, Alabama from March
until July 1945 when it was dropped from the USAAF inventory as surplus, just as the war in Europe
had ended and the war in the Pacific was winding down. Surplus inventory from the USAAF
was sold to the public through the auspices of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, Washington, DC.
On December 31, 1945, it was purchased by H. L. Galstar, from Chicago, IL for $690 and resold, almost
immediately (in January 1946) to J. M. Edelman of Baton Rouge, LA and permitted for instrument night flying.
Edelman thereafter sold the aircraft for $700 in Feb 1948 to Davis Aerial Photographic Services, Houma, LA
and permitted for vertical photography. After 18 years of use in aerial photography, the plane was purchased
by two pilots (J. C. Vest & A.F. Hopson) for $1,500 in February 1966 and moved the Vultee to Houma, LA.
In July of that year, it must have been involved in some aviation incident as the aircraft registration
was cancelled at request of the owners with the rationale: ‘aircraft scrapped’.
In 1970 R. D. Garnett of Marion, TX purchased the plane, restoring it to flying condition. In January 1971,
the new owner applied for and was granted a reinstatement of the BT-13’s registration. Mr. Garnett
kept the plane for over 20 years before selling it to C. W. Kirchner Jr. of Ocala, FL, in May 1993.
In between Mr. Kirchner and its final private placing, the Vultee was purchased by its then
mechanic, J. E. Kaylor also of Ocala, FL. Finally in November 1997 the BT-13A was purchased by
Mr. Gerry O. Sibley and registered in Rockford IL. When Mr. Sibley passed on March 6, 2021, it was discovered
that he had willed his aircraft to the Combat Air Museum. p\Preserved and on display at Combat Air Museum since June 2021
