325th Bomb Squadron [NV*K], 92nd Bomb Group, Podington (Station 109), Bedfordshire 2Dec43.
Named "Sky Scrapper". Failed to return from a mission to the AGO-Flugzeugwerke Fw 190 manufacturing
factory at Oschersleben, Germany 11Jan44 (10POW). While the aircraft were airborne, the weather
closed in over English bases and a recall signal was issued. B/Gen. Robert F. Travis, Air Commander
of the 1st Bomb Division, continued on to the target. This left the 1st Bomb Division with greater
exposure to enemy fighter attacks. Good fighter support was provided by P-47 Thunderbolts on
the penetration and by P-51 Mustangs over the target. P-47s were airborne to provide withdrawal
support but they obeyed the recall order to return to England and left the bombers to fend for
themselves on the return trip. Luftwaffe attacks started over the IJsselmeer and intensified
when the American fighters returned home. Meagre and fairly accurate flak was experienced
on the bomb run, with intermittent inaccurate flak on the return trip. Shot down by enemy fighters,
crashed Kotte Farm, Almelo, near Albergen, Netherlands. MACR 1921

Field, CA. Scott Field, Belleville, IL 18Sep43. 303rd Bomb Group. The 1943 World Series
had all the hallmarks of a classic. In a rematch of the previous year's antagonists, the St. Louis
Cardinals would attempt to repeat their resounding win over the New York Yankees.
The nation's war effort was gobbling up manpower at a prodigious rate. No one knew
who might be playing ball in 1944, or if there would even be a 1944 season. It looked
as if this might be the last great series for the duration of the war, which is why the first
game drew over 68,000 fans to Yankee Stadium. On October 5, 1943, the Yankees were
on their way to a 4-2 victory over the Cardinals when, in the eighth inning, four B-17s
suddenly rumbled above the stadium packed with 68,676 fans. As the teams took
batting practice and the pitchers warmed up, four Army Air Force B-17 bombers were
droning toward New York City on their way to combat bases in England. No one is sure what
sparked the next move. Perhaps it was just the high spirits of young men facing a dangerous
future. As the aircraft crossed the Hudson River, the pilots headed for the Bronx and put the
formation into a shallow dive. Picking up speed, the bombers thundered over Yankee Stadium
in a low pass from home plate to center field. After they climbed out the B-17s wheeled about and
circled the field while one aircraft returned for an encore. It cleared the upper-deck flagpoles
by a mere 25 feet, prompting the Associated Press to later report that "an Army bomber roared
over Yankee Stadium so low that Slats Martin could have fielded it". The aircraft then rejoined
the formation and headed east. When they landed at Presque Isle airfield in Maine, the four
pilots were confined to quarters while court martial proceedings were undertaken. They were
released a few days later when the Army realized it was foolish to keep four badly needed aircraft
and crews out of combat because of a youthful indiscretion. "Besides," a general told them, "you
and your crew will probably be killed anyway". North Atlantic Wing, Air Transport Command,

mission 9Feb44 when the number four engine/propeller contacted with the tail of B-17G 42-39785. Both
airplanes were able to land safely and there were no casualties. Battle damaged and returned to base
after a direct hit on the tail. The tail gunner was uninjured, fortunate that he was checking the tail wheel
when the shell hit. 359th Bomb Squadron [BN*B]. Failed to return from a mission to the railway
marshalling yards at Hamm, Germany 22Apr44 (4KIA:6POW). Flak set an engine on fire before the
target, the aircraft entered a spin and exploded before some crew could bail out, crashed Delecke,
six miles south of Soest, Germany. {28 missions}. MACR 4272

Huntingdonshire 18Oct43. Named "G. I. Sheets"
Failed to return from a mission to the industrial area at Frankfurt am Main, Germany 29Jan44
(5POW:4EVD:1KIA). During assembly for the mission, the plane had problems with the No.2 engine
supercharger but the crew agreed to continue. Within sight of the target, the pilot had to
feather the No.4 propeller because of an oil leak. The bomber could not keep up with the group,
became a straggler and a target for enemy fighters so the crew jettisoned the bombs. The first
wave of four Bf 109s attacked from the front and did a lot of damage even though the pilots took
evasive action. One shell went through the nose plexiglass causing serious injury to the bombardier
and navigator. The explosion had knocked out the oxygen system, the instrument vacuum system
and damaged some headset communication. The pilot dove for cloud cover which was about 5,000ft.
Utilizing the cloud cover as much as possible allowed the plane to get back over Belgium.
There the cloud cover ran out as it flew over a large Fw 190 fighter base. They not only sent up
fighters but fired on the bomber with small arm weapons. The combat with fighters was futile.
The crew lost most of their gunnery protection and was receiving extensive damage to the aircraft
along with injuries to the crew. With the rudder fabric burnt off by No.3 engine on fire, the pilot
decided he had enough and sounded the warning bell. It had been approximately two hours since the
first attack. A waist gunner bailed out but the remaining crew realized how low they were, estimated
to be less than 400 feet and remained on board. Crash landed on pasture at Solre-Saint-Géry,
south of Beaumont, Belgium MACR 2260

Reassigned for utility, training and weather check aircraft 12Feb44. Crash landed at Molesworth 5Jul44.
The 303rd Bomb Group held a party to celebrate the 4th of July and invited a nearby Fighter Group of ‘little friends’.
In the early hours of the following morning the little friends were in no shape to drive back to their own base.
The Operations Officer of the bomb group used this plane as a taxi to take the fighter pilots home.
Returning to Molesworth, on the downwind leg the pilot lowered the landing gear. The indicator light
was missing the green cover and was too bright in the dark night so the pilot unscrewed the filament.
On base leg, the pilot started to lower the wing flaps and expected a nice smooth landing. Unfortunately,
he had inadvertently raised the landing gear and there wasn’t a light to warn him. His arrival at Moleworth
was with a screech of metal and a shower of sparks as the four propellers chewed into the runway and
stopped the plane. Ferry Command 20May45. Returned to US. Lubbock, TX 10Jun45. 2532nd Base Unit,

*Fletcher's Castoria*. Crashed near the control tower at Thorpe Abbotts 4Dec43.
It was returning from a local navigation and procedures sortie. On its return the aircraft was approaching
the runway for a straight-in landing but from a higher altitude than normal and in a slow power off glide.
As the aircraft touched down, the right wing stalled and the landing was simultaneous on the right main gear,
tail wheel and right wingtip, bending the wing two or three feet upwards. The aircraft took off again
and climbed straight ahead to an altitude of 50 to 100 feet before stalling, dropping down again
striking the left wing. It was the pilot’s first flight in the UK and had not flown for two months and the
other pilot was acting as check pilot for the first time. Salvaged 10Dec43.

Failed to return from a mission to the AGO-Flugzeugwerke Fw 190 manufacturing factory at Oschersleben,
Germany 11Jan44 (10KIA). While the aircraft were airborne, the weather closed in over English bases and a
recall signal was issued. B/Gen. Robert F. Travis, Air Commander of the 1st Bomb Division, continued on
to the target. This left the 1st Bomb Division with greater exposure to enemy fighter attacks. Good fighter
support was provided by P-47 Thunderbolts on the penetration and by P-51 Mustangs over the target. P-47s
were airborne to provide withdrawal support but they obeyed the recall order to return to England and
left the bombers to fend for themselves on the return trip. It proved to be the most disastrous of the
303rd Bomb Group combat missions flown to date. The 303rd lost eleven of the forty B-17s flying the
mission. Luftwaffe attacks started over the IJsselmeer and intensified when the American fighters
returned home. Meagre and fairly accurate flak was experienced on the bomb run, with intermittent
inaccurate flak on the return trip. Shot down by enemy fighters, crashed Nollman Farm, Natrup-Hagen,

The aircraft was hit by flak which severed the rudder cable shaft, causing the aircraft to drop out of formation.
It was then attacked three separate times by Fw 190 fighters and shot down by
Fw Robert Hager in Fw 190A-6 of JG 26/4 before the crew managed to evade the fighters
by entering a cloud bank. Two engines were out of action and the tail section badly damaged. After flying

Junkers Flugzeugwerke aircraft factory at Aschersleben, Germany 22Feb44 (7KIA:3POW).
On the way to the target, the formation met with the 381st Bomb Group. Since these planes
were late following the main formation, no escort was available. Heavy cloud cover over
the target forced the formation to divert to the industrial area of Bünde, Germany. The bomber
formation was exposed to the attack of German fighters for over forty minutes without interruption,
most of which were Fw 190s. Struck by flak the pilot was forced to feather the number one propeller.
Almost immediately, flights of Bf 109s attacked and as the group increased speed and tightened
their formation this plane was gradually left behind. One 500Ib bomb remained hung up in the
bomb bay after the load was jettisoned to lighten the plane and was subjected to repeated
attacks. Two enemy fighters came in on individual passes; the first killing the engineer,
co-pilot and tail gunner and wounding two other crew men. As the survivors prepared to
bail out of the waist door, the second Bf 109 attacked and killed three other airmen.
The pilot stayed at the controls to try to keep the plane steady and give the survivors a chance
of bailing out but just as the wounded waist gunner leaped from the waist, the plane turned over
and went into a spin. Crashed at Hermannstal, one mile west of Lügde, six miles southwest of
Hameln, Germany. {23 missions) MACR 2641

(Station 128), Northamptonshire 26Oct43. Named "Zenobia El Elephanta". Crashed on
takeoff and exploded at Deenethorpe 5Dec43. While taking off from Deenethorpe, and probably with
frost on the wings, it was caught in the preceding aircraft’s propeller vortices. It stalled and
careered across a few fields with the tail section breaking off before skidding through a farmyard
in the village of Deenethorpe, coming to rest against an empty cottage. The navigator and
bombardier were trapped in the nose but rescued. Uninjured crew vacated the burning
aircraft and warned the villagers of an impending explosion. Fire crews and colleagues
rushed to the scene, and the two remaining injured crewmen were safely pulled out. Emergency
workers evacuated all nearby civilians, thus no one was injured when the aircraft’s bomb load
(twelve 500lb bombs) exploded twenty minutes later, blasting the aircraft and the nearby fire
tender to pieces and destroying or severely damaging most of the buildings in the village.
The explosion was enormous and heard nine miles away. 8 crew OK, 2 badly injured.

Battle damaged during a gunnery practice mission 30Dec43 (1WIA:9RTD). The aircraft had been
flying at 13,000ft with the gunners firing at a towed target. After the session, the plane descended through
cloud and after a while sighted land, the navigator claiming that it was England. Dropping down to 1,800 feet
and heading for base, the crew was surprised - and annoyed – to have flak being shot at them but then
found out that they were actually over France – the wrong side of the North Sea. The pilot turned around
and flew quickly out to sea towards England. The tail gunner had been wounded by flak shrapnel;
flak had struck the tail and exploded, nearly taking off his head. Arriving back over Thurleigh,
fog was closing in and No.3 engine had a blown cylinder. Approaching to land on three engines,
the plane was diverted and landed at Great Saling (Station 485), Essex. Regained by Group 21Jan44.

Named "Wacky Woody". Failed to return from a mission to the Messerschmitt aircraft factory at
Regensburg, Germany 25Feb44 (10POW). The plane was being flown by a 452nd Bomb Group crew
on loan to the 96th Bomb Group. After crossing the coastline into mainland Europe, the formation
encountered frequent flak and fierce aerial attacks from the Luftwaffe, causing heavy damage to
some of the bombers. Approaching Saarbrücken flak increased in intensity and accuracy. A flak shell
burst directly under the right wing, the pilot losing control as the plane rolled with the right wing
going up almost to the vertical. Regaining control, the two engines on the right wing had been damaged
and the propellers were feathered. The right wing was a mess and there was fire coming out
behind it. The pilot jettisoned the bomb load and then noticed that there was a big hole in the
lower side of No.2 engine behind the cowl flaps. By now losing altitude rapidly, the crew bailed out.
Crashed in fields beside the River Saar, Saarwiesen, west of Saarbrücken, Germany. MACR 2862.

Named "Hulcher's Vultures" Named after the first pilot.
{first combat mission 26Nov43}. Battle damaged during a mission to the industrial area at Brunswick,
Germany 10Feb44 (10RTD). Meagre to heavy flak was seen when crossing the enemy coast at IJmuiden, Netherlands.
In the vicinity of Lingen, Germany the formation was attacked by enemy fighters in groups of three.
As they neared the target, twin-engined aircraft fired rockets into the formation. Intense flak was
encountered at the target where the aircraft received flak damage. The formation was under fighter
attack until it neared the IJsselmeer on the return home. Friendly fighters were outnumbered,
especially in the target area. Battle damaged on a mission to industrial areas in the suburbs of
Berlin, Germany 4Mar44. Because of severe weather in the assembly area, the group diverted to a
target in the Ruhr valley, Germany. The pilot left the formation, returned home alone and was
attacked by enemy fighters but landed safely at Knettishall. Battle damaged on a mission to a
railway marshalling yard at Liège, Belgium 25May44. Meagre flak was encountered crossing
the French coast in the Le Tréport area but very accurate flak at Poix-de-Picardie, France.
Failed to return from a mission to an oil depot at Königsburg, Germany 28May44 (10POW).
The plane received a flak hit in the right wing shortly after the bombs were dropped over the
target disabling No.3 and No.4 engines. The radio room was full of black smoke and a bunch
of control cables had been shot in half. A piece of flat flak, about 18 inches long, came through the
bottom of the right wing, through the engine, through the right fuselage, and radio room. It took the
sight off the radio operator’s fifty-caliber machine gun and went out through the Plexiglas. The pilot
managed to keep the badly damaged plane in the air, but could no longer maintain the necessary
speed and altitude. The navigator reported that the plane could make it back to England with only
two functioning engines if the propellers could be feathered. However, this was not possible
due to the damage to this wing, so that the air resistance was too great to be able to maintain the
altitude, even with the other two engines at full throttle. The plane had lagged behind the formation
and, as protection from German fighter planes, the pilot called for friendly fighters to provide protection
and two P-51 Mustangs appeared. He hoped to reach the Netherlands to find help with resistance fighters.
The crew threw out everything that they could to lighten the aircraft but were unable to jettison the
ball turret. The plane received some 40mm anti-aircraft fire from a town it passed over at 8,000ft.
Still losing altitude steadily, at about 200 to 400 feet, the plane passed over an airfield and was
fired at by 20mm anti-aircraft guns. Eventually the pilot was forced to crash land in a field near the
Wiera river, one mile from Mengsberg, thirty-one miles southwest of Kassel, Germany. {46 missions}.
MACR 5317. The bomber was initially camouflaged by the Germans to prevent it from being destroyed by
American fighter planes. Then it was dismantled into transportable individual parts and transported
away by train.

(9RTD:1POW). Returning from the target, the lead plane flew towards a known heavily defended airfield
near Ostend, Belgium. At 12,000 feet descending to cross the North Sea and with a stiff headwind,
the formation flew into the danger area. Flak from the airfield defenders struck and badly
damaged the tail. The elevator and rudder controls were useless but the pilot was able to stabilise
the plane by using ailerons. He then switched on the auto-pilot which had separate controls for the elevator.
A burst of 88mm flak had blown off the tail compartment; the tail gunner was blown out of the tail and became a POW.
The pilot elected to try and reach England rather than ditch in the icy sea. Making landfall at Sheerness, Kent,
the crew was reluctant to bail out so the pilot set up a long, slow approach to force land at RAF Eastchurch
on the Isle of Sheppy, Kent. Rebuilt with replacement tail section and regained by Group. Battle damaged

During the summer of 1943 at RAF St Eval, Padstow, Cornwall, No.1404 Meteorological Flight
became No.517 Squadron and began re-equipping with the Handley-Page Halifax. Because of this No.517
was unable to maintain its operational committment of twice-daily meteorological reconnaissance
sorties to the southwest over Biscay (code-named EPICURE). Such was the importance of these flights
that the USAAF offered four B-17s to make up the shortfall - adding another four aircraft later. Initially
these were detached to RAF St Eval and operated to the west of the UK (code-named ALLAH), but during
the autumn it was decided the USAAF aircraft should operate from an American base - Bovingdon (Station 112),
Hertfordshire. As the USAAF didn’t have aircrew trained in meteorological observing, the crews
always flew with an RAF Meteorological Air Observer (MAO)

Named "Old Vibration/Rubber Check. Failed to return from a mission to industrial areas in the
suburbs of Berlin, Germany 6Mar44 (8POW:2KIA). Shortly after leaving the target area, the bomber
was hit by heavy flak; it was rocked by a shell exploding very close to the right wing. The plane
was damaged and the No.4 engine knocked out of commission; it was smoking and a few licks of
flame appeared but they quickly dissipated. Knocked out of formation, at that altitude, because
of the flak damage, it was impossible to catch the faster moving formation. Gradually, the bomber
fell further and further behind, and below the formation until it was all alone. The pilot still had
basic control of the aircraft although he had to lose some altitude to maintain safe air speed.
Soon, Bf 109's and Fw 190's were attacking the bomber from several different directions and
raked the length of the plane with heavy gunfire. The additional damage inflicted on the plane was
considerable. No.2 engine was having problems and No.3 was damaged and out of commission.
The radio operator and a waist gunner were killed by the fighters; the other waist gunner was
wounded in the leg. About this time the enemy fighter attacks slackened. The pilot had to ease
up on the good engine, No.1, when it appeared to be developing trouble. The bomber was now losing
altitude rapidly to maintain sufficient air speed to keep basic control of the plane. The pilot gave
the order to abandon the plane. The aircraft glided down and crash landed at Ostprignitz,

Named "Buzz Blonde". Battle damaged by flak on a mission to the Braunkohle Benzin A.G.
synthetic oil refinery at Rothensee, Magdeburg, Germany 28Sep44. Approaching the target,
flak ripped into the lower fuselage and No.2 engine. With injured crew, the bombs were
jettisoned, the propeller was feathered and the pilot climbed above to clear the formation
then descended gently to a lower altitude. At about 10,000ft, they leveled out and the
crew could breathe unassisted. Fnding themselves southwest of Berlin and alone,
it was a long ride home using clouds to hide from any enemy fighters. When two were seen
shortly afterwards they turned out to be British Spitfires who accompanied the bomber
until the safety of the Dutch coast. Landing at Molesworth without brakes, the bomber rolled
to the end of the runway before doing a 360 degree ground loop and stopped. The B-17
had received 540 flak holes. Battle damaged on a mission to Cologne, Germany 10Jan45
(7RTD:2POW). The aircraft had a mid-air collision with B-17G, 42-97861 just after bomb release.
Both planes were tossed around for several minutes before being brought under control by their pilots.
Two crew bailed out due to damage in the nose and in their belief that their plane was out
of control. The right wing and horizontal stabiliser were damaged. The pilot was able to bring
the bomber under control with oxygen system, interphones and heating equipment out at
temperatures of minus 60 degrees. A crash landing was made at Sandweiler (A-97), Luxembourg.

bases and a recall signal was issued. B/Gen. Robert F. Travis, Air Commander of the 1st Bomb Division,
continued on to the target. This left the 1st Bomb Division with greater exposure to enemy fighter attacks.
Good fighter support was provided by P-47 Thunderbolts on the penetration and by P-51 Mustangs
over the target. P-47s were airborne to provide withdrawal support but they obeyed the recall order
to return to England and left the bombers to fend for themselves on the return trip. Luftwaffe attacks
started over the IJsselmeer and intensified when the American fighters returned home. Meagre and
fairly accurate flak was experienced on the bomb run. Before the target the aircraft had a fire in No.4
engine. It continued in formation for about five minutes with this fire and then opened the bomb bay doors.
Fire came out of the bomb bay and increased as the plane continued. Then the plane left formation
and turned to right. It stayed with the Wing formation for about three minutes after which it
exploded and crashed ten miles south of Oschersleben

Named "Bermondsay Battler". [mis-painted as BERMONDSAY BATTLER]. As an
appreciation of £800,000 raised during Bermondsey's Wings for Victory Week, the people of
Bermondsey christened the U.S. Fortress bomber "BERMONDSEY BATTLER" at the U.S. bomber base,
Kimbolton (Station 117), Huntingdonshire 15Feb44. Three other bombers were named by their
crews also in honour of Bermondsey. Failed to return from a mission to the Junkers Flugzeugwerke
aircraft factory at Aschersleben, Germany 22Feb44 (10KIA). On the way to the target, the formation
met with the 91st Bomb Group. Since these planes were late following the main formation,
no escort was available. Heavy cloud cover over the target forced the formation to divert to the
industrial area of Bünde, Germany. The bomber formation was exposed to the attack of German
fighters for over forty minutes without interruption, most of which were Fw 190s. The bomber was
hit hard on the first wave of attacks. Engines number 2 and 3 caught fire immediately. The pilot
pulled out of the formation and tried to extinguish the fires in the engines by diving down to an
altitude of 3,000ft. In the process, he lost control of the aircraft, the crew was unable to escape
and crashed on Allhornsberg, at Hiddesen, three miles southwest of Detmold, Germany. {12+ missions}.

Named "Boston Bombshell" Battle damaged on a mission to the Luftwaffe air
depot at Mérignac, Bordeaux, France 31Dec43. The target was covered in solid cloud so the group diverted
to the secondary target, a Luftwaffe airfield at Châteaubernard, Cognac, France. Flak at the target was
moderate and accurate. Battle damaged on a Crossbow mission to a German V-weapon site on the
Cherbourg Peninsula, France 21Jan44 (1WIA:9RTD). Flak was meagre to moderate and accurate
injuring the bombardier. Failed to return from a mission to the Junkers Flugzeugwerke aircraft factory

Named "Star Dust"– artwork of a scantily clad woman bending over apparently being ‘kicked’
by a star with a grinning face . Battle damaged on a Crossbow mission to a German V-weapon
site in the Pas de Calais, France 13Feb44 (1WIA:1INJ:8RTD). The plane was subjected to flak en route
to the target with three bursts close on the right side knocking the bomber off course. Shrapnel had
knocked out the radio communications and the No.1 engine was badly damaged and shut down; the
propeller kept unfeathering causing additional drag. This forced the plane out of formation. The
temperature of No.3 engine was rising and there was a strong smell of gasoline from pierced fuel tanks
in the right wing. The bomb load was jettisoned as was excess equipment as the plane slowly descended
over the English Channel. The plane reached the English coast and the pilot looked for a suitable airfield
to land at. Spotting a RAF fighter airfield, the pilot force landed at RAF Detling, Kent. Landing safely
on the wet grass field, the plane suddenly lurched then skidded left out of control and slammed into a
concrete pillbox. The plane’s nose was crushed and the fuselage was broken. Salvaged 15Feb44

452nd Bomb Group, Walla Walla Field, WA 7Nov43. 730th Bomb Squadron, 452nd Bomb Group,
Deopham Green (Station 142), Norfolk 5Jan44. Named "Big Noise". When the crew started the engines
it made so much noise that nobody could hear each other, so someone made a comment to call the
plane ‘The Big Noise’. The name might have been inspired by the 1944 Columbia Pictures movie by
that name starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Battle damaged on a mission to the Sudetenländische
Treibstoffwerke AG synthetic oil refinery at Záluží, Brüx, Sudetenland 12May44 (1POW:9RTD). En route
to the target, between Koblenz and Frankfurt, the formation was attacked by a large force of enemy fighters.
The plane had been damaged over the target and was heading for home. Anything loose had been
jettisoned to save weight and the gunner was helping to release the ball turret. The crew had been
instructed to put on their parachutes in case they needed to bail out. The right waist gunner
misunderstood instructions and bailed out. The pilot force landed at a fighter base, Woodchurch
(Station 419), Kent. Salvaged, battle damaged 21Sep44. Returned to US. 121st Base Unit (Redeployment

452nd Bomb Group, Walla Walla Field, WA 7Nov43. 729th Bomb Squadron [V], 452nd Bomb Group,
Deopham Green (Station 142), Norfolk 9Feb44. Named "Marjorie Ann" The pilot was married and his
wife’s name was ‘Marjorie Ann’. The flight engineer who was also married, had also named his
oldest daughter ‘Marjorie Ann’, so the plane was named this while they were still training in the States.
Failed to return from a mission to railway marshalling yards at Rouen, France 8Jul44 (5POW:5EVD).
Flak over the target was heavy and accurate, striking the No.2 engine and setting it on fire. The plane
dropped out of formation, jettisoned the bomb load and was last seen under control. When the fire
extended to the wing the crew bailed out before the plane crashed at Ymare, 10km southeast of Rouen, France

While the aircraft were airborne, the weather closed in over English bases and a recall signal was issued.
B/Gen. Robert F. Travis, Air Commander of the 1st Bomb Division, continued on to the target. This left the
1st Bomb Division with greater exposure to enemy fighter attacks. Good fighter support was provided by
P-47 Thunderbolts on the penetration and by P-51 Mustangs over the target. P-47s were airborne to
provide withdrawal support but they obeyed the recall order to return to England and left the bombers to
fend for themselves on the return trip. Luftwaffe attacks started over the IJsselmeer and intensified when
the American fighters returned home. Meagre and fairly accurate flak was experienced on the bomb
run, with intermittent inaccurate flak on the return trip. Shot down by enemy fighters, crashed northwest
of Weissenborn, twenty-five miles east of Kassel, Germany. [2 missions)

damaged during a mission to the Robert Bosch electrical factory at Berlin, Germany 6Mar44
(1KIA:2WIA:9RTD). Approximately fifteen to twenty Fw 190s were met near Dümmer See en
route to the target and were again encountered in the same area on the return route home.
Instead of attacking the assigned target, the formation circled the outskirts of the city to a textile
works on the banks of the Elbe River at Oranienburg. The Group did not drop its bombs on this target.
They instead bombed a target in the residential area near the marshalling yards and the
Heinkel Flugzeugwerke aircraft factory at Wittenberge. The tail gunner and the two waist gunners
had been seriously wounded, one waist gunner died later in hospital. Battle damaged on a mission
to railway facilities around Berlin, Germany 29Apr44. The combat wing was off course heading to
Berlin, attacked by enemy fighters and bombed Magdeburg. Flak over the target was very accurate.

Failed to return from a mission to railway facilities around Berlin, Germany 29Apr44 (6EVD:4POW).
The combat wing was off course heading to Berlin, attacked by enemy fighters and bombed Magdeburg.
The aircraft lost an engine en route to the target from flak damage and a second whilst over the target.
The loss of two engines caused the aircraft to fall out of formation and the crew headed for home alone.
The pilot warned the crew to prepare to bail out. A waist gunner apparently took this as the cue to
immediately bail out from the aircraft. Shortly before crossing the Dutch border the aircraft lost a
third engine through flak damage and with only a single serviceable engine the pilot decided to
attempt a crash landing instead of ordering the crew to bail out. The aircraft was put down in a field
near Lichtenvoorde, southeast of Ruurlo, Netherlands. The crew escaped with some minor injuries and
remained long enough to try and set the aircraft ablaze before heading for a wooded area to avoid capture.
That night they were taken in by the Dutch resistance and were sheltered prior to being dispersed throughout the resistance network

Named YANKEE DOODLE DANDY / HOLEY JOE / QUEEN ANN / GENERAL SHERMAN
{first combat mission 5Dec43}. Battle damaged on a mission to the industrial areas of Emden,
Germany 11Dec43 (4WIA:6RTD). The Luftwaffe was waiting for the bombers; the moment the bombers
crossed over into mainland Europe, six twin-engine fighter dived out of the sun upon the formation,
concentrating all their fire on the lead plane. Once the leader had been downed, the fighters swept
through the lead Squadron. Before the deputy lead had a chance to reassemble the formation,
a large force of single-engine fighters joined the fray, attacking the other bombers. The pilot, top
turret and both waist gunners were wounded. Battle damaged during a mission to railway
marshalling yards at Frankfurt am Main, Germany 4Feb44. As the planes were passing over the
Netherlands en route to Germany, local cross winds carried the bombers straight into enemy flak.
Participated in an Operation Frantic II shuttle mission to the Braunkohle-Benzin AG synthetic oil
refinery at Schwarzheide, Ruhland, Germany 21Jun44. After the target, the bomber continued east
and landed at Mirgorod (Station 561), Ukraine. The Germans had identified the location of the USAAF
bomber force so the plane was moved to a fighter airfield at Zaporozke, Ukraine 22Jun44.

Named "Lackin' Shackin'" Battle damaged on a Crossbow mission to a German V-weapon site at Andres
in the Pas-de-Calais, France 24Dec43. Flak over the target was heavy and accurate, damaging the plane.
Battle damaged during a mission to railway marshalling yards at Frankfurt am Main, Germany 4Feb44.
As the planes were passing over the Netherlands en route to Germany, local cross winds carried the
bombers straight into enemy flak which was heavy and accurate. The right waist section, Plexiglas
nose and the left wing between the engines were all damaged by flak. Failed to return from a mission
to the Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau AG aircraft factory at Sorau, Prussia 11Apr44 (10INT). Intense and
accurate flak was encountered in the vicinity of Hanover and struck the plane with both outboard engines
damaged, leaking oil and fuel. The propellers were feathered and then the left inboard engine started
losing power; the fuel transfer system had been damaged. The crew jettisoned everything they could to
reduce weight and headed for what was thought to be Denmark. Coming in from the south they were
spotted by a German Me 210 and started an attack. The crew fought back but the fighter was not
damaged. In another attack, the fighter missed the bomber and fired directly towards a Swedish
anti-aircraft artillery base. The Swedes shot back and struck the Me 210 with their first shot. The bomber
circled around the burning plane then headed on eastwards. The Swedish flak battery fired warning shots,
one of which struck the bomber, when passing over Sövde air base. The crew sent out emergency flares,
the shooting stopped when they started to bailed out between Tågra and Lövestad. The pilot had lowered
the bomber’s landing gear when being shot at by the Swedes and searched for a suitable field in
which to land. Retracting the wheels, he missed a field of flowers and passed over a high voltage
power line. The plane crash landed in a plowed field, swept through a stone wall and stopped in
Tolånga, sixkm east of Vollsjö railway station, Sjöbo, Sweden. Having escaped the crash, the pilot
returned to the plane, possibly with intent to destroyed secret equipment, but was prevented by a
home guard who advised him that he was in Sweden; the pilot then relaxed. Salvaged and
scrapped at Ystad, Sweden. {11 missions}.

of Brunswick, Germany 23Mar44 (10POW). The bomber was attacked by German fighters over the
city of Hanover and badly damaged. Engine number two failed and the propeller was feathered.
There was a large hole in one wing and the plane dropped out of formation. It was then attacked by
six or seven fighters and a fire broke out in the area of ??the bomb bay which still contained 105
fragmentation bombs. Over Stemwede, the pilot could no longer control the plane and gave the order
to bail out. The B-17 crashed into the moor north of Oppenwehe, one kilometer west of the
Oppenwehe - Wagenfeld road, southeast of Diepholz, Germany. It exploded on impact and
burned out completely. MACR 3344

Named "Hit Parade". Battle damaged on a mission to the Junkers aircraft factory at Halberstadt,
Germany 11Jan44. The bomber took off with a load of 2,300 gallons of gasoline, 6,000 pounds of bombs,
full load of ammunition, and the usual weight of men and equipment. It joined the squadron formation
and flew to the target without incident but was forced to use 2,400 rpm and 40" at times. After dropping
their bombs, the formation was attacked by fighters which stayed for one hour and 50 minutes. They
attacked the squadron from 5-7 o'clock position at first and gradually as more enemy fighters
joined they attacked from 3-9 o'clock positions. The crew was flying ‘Tail End Charlie’, #7 position.
The fighters created excitement among the squadron, resulting in more power being applied to the engines.
This crew was forced to use 2,500 rpm and 40-46" almost continuously. The plane was vibrating and
pitching as a result of all guns firing, fighting propeller wash, and evading collision with their own
as well as enemy planes. It seemed that the greater part of the attack was aimed at this bomber,
perhaps because it was the only one in the group that was not firing tracer bullets and the enemy
apparently thought it had no guns or were out of ammunition. Later the bomber was attacked by
another group of enemy fighters numbering about 40. This time it was flying #3 position in the
second element of the lead squadron. As the enemy fighters came in, The engineer/top turret
gunner of this bomber shot down a Fw 190 which burst into flames, nosed up and to its left,
thus colliding with the B-17 flying #2 position of the second element on the right. Immediately
upon colliding this B-17 burst into flames, started into a loop but fell off on its left wing and
across the tail of #957. Immediately upon being hit by the falling B-17 this aircraft nosed up and
went into a loop. The action of the pilot was to engage the AFCE [automatic flight control equipment]
which was set up for level flying. Full power was applied with throttle and both pilot and co-pilot
began the struggle with the manual controls. It was noted at once that the rudder control was out
because the rudder pedals could not be moved. In only a fraction of a second the bomber had
completed a loop and was now spinning towards the ground, with five enemy fighters following
on the tail. Although the spin seemed flat and rather slow it was vicious and the bomber was losing
altitude fast. When the aircraft entered into the spin the pilot after determining its direction applied
full inside throttle, retarded the other two, used only aileron AFCE control, and applied it in full
opposite position, rolled elevator trim-tab fully forward, and in addition both pilots applied full
forward position on control column, plus full opposite aileron. After making at least two or three
complete 360-degree turns, the B-17 finally swept into a clean dive at an angle of approximately
45 degrees from level. The IAS at this time was approximately 280 mph. The altitude was approximately
12,000ft. At this point it was noted that one enemy fighter was still following the bomber, therefore
seeing a solid undercast below the pilot nosed the bomber down and applied additional power.
Finally leveled off in the clouds at 4,000ft, the pilot trimmed the aircraft, checked all engine instruments
immediately after leveling off and found everything functioning normally, except the pilot's directional
gyro which apparently had tumbled. Flew in the cloud cover for a while then rode the top of the clouds
all the way back across the North Sea. The aircraft seemed to fly quite smoothly in spite of the missing
vertical stabiliser and rudder. It was therefore decided by the pilot that a normal landing could be
attempted. Reaching the English coast the pilot headed for the home airfield but the weather had
closed in and the ceiling was getting lower. Finally, he was forced to fly at tree-top heights in order
to stay out of the clouds, thus getting lost. All radio equipment was out and he was not sure where
the field was. Finally it began to rain. The navigator volunteered to remain in the nose of the bomber
to direct the pilot and co-pilot in their approach to the field and a final landing. The pilot made a
perfect landing. After setting it on the ground it was noted that the right tire was flat. However, this
did not trouble the pilot because the aircraft was stalled out at low speed and slowed down
immediately by use of brakes. It was noted that the aircaft was almost dry of fuel. The gunners
had shot down nine enemy aircraft and claimed to have damaged at least ten more.

Failed to return from a mission to the AGO-Flugzeugwerke Fw 190 manufacturing factory at Oschersleben,
Germany 11Jan44 (10POW). While the aircraft were airborne, the weather closed in over English bases
and a recall signal was issued. Brigadier General Robert F. Travis, Air Commander of the 1st Bomb Division,
continued on to the target. This left the 1st Bomb Division with greater exposure to enemy fighter attacks.
Good fighter support was provided by P-47 Thunderbolts on the penetration and by P-51 Mustangs over
the target. P-47s were airborne to provide withdrawal support but they obeyed the recall order to return to
England and left the bombers to fend for themselves on the return trip. Luftwaffe attacks started over the
IJsselmeer and intensified when the American fighters returned home. Meagre and fairly accurate flak
was experienced on the bomb run, with intermittent inaccurate flak on the return trip. Shot down by
enemy aircraft and both wings caught fire, crash landed Osterode, near Dorste, southwest of Lichtenstein

radio operator who was a big St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan. He knew that the inside curve
pitch in baseball was the hardest to hit so the crew agreed to affix the name to their plane.
Fitted with a revised Plexiglas nosepiece which was slightly shorter and a steeper forward
up turn, primarily to prevent blast damage from chin turret when guns fired at maximum elevation.
Damaged returning from slow timing an engine when the landing gear collapsed landing at Deopham Green 19Jul44.
Crashed shortly after take off for a mission to aircraft factories at Bremen, Germany 12Oct44 (7KIA:2INJ).
Having climbed through the fog, the plane was over the Wash, the crew checked their guns and oxygen
at 13,000ft when the plane became unstable, possibly from propeller wash. The plane began to rock
with one wing going up and another down then turned over onto its back as it began to spin towards the sea.
Gravitational forces prevented any airmen from bailing out then the plane stopped spinning and dove straight
down from about 15,000ft. With full power on the engines, the pilot was trying to pull the bomber
out of the dive when the wings came off, it exploded and broke at the ball turret and tail door.
The waist gunner was in the center section, now open at both ends. His parachute came sliding by,
he clipped it on and pulled the ripcord which dragged him out and he was able to parachute to safety.
The navigator was blown out of the nose when the plane exploded and also survived.

Failed to return from a mission to the Heinkel Flugzeugwerke aircraft factory which had been converted
to Fw 190 production at Warnemünde, Germany 9Apr44 (10POW). On return from the target the Group
was attacked by enemy fighters before reaching the Danish coast. The bomber was hit in the No.2 engine
and was losing fuel at an alarming rate. The navigator reported that if it continued losing fuel at this rate,
it could only just reach Sweden. The pilot asked for a course and the aircraft calmly left formation and
flew northwards. All ammunition and machine guns were thrown overboard, while it flew low over the sea.
At last the aircraft reached land. At that time none of the crew knew the colors of the Swedish flag, but from
the flagstaffs they saw a red flag with a white cross. Denmark was occupied and therefore probably was not
allowed to use their own flag, the crew agreed that this had to be Sweden. After ten or fifteen minutes of flying
they saw an open field which was very suitable for landing. The pilot was circling around the field to check
it for ditches and fences, and when he was halfway across the field he suddenly discovered camouflaged
planes with the Swastika on the rudder. The pilot pulled the plane up and tried to turn away, but just then one
of the gunners reported a Me 210 was on their tail and the light flak became awake and fired warning shots.
Without machine guns and ammunition the crew did not have a chance and the pilot returned to the runway.
From this day and after thirteen months in a German POW camp, the pilot stated that there were ten Americans
that learned to know the difference between the Danish and the Swedish flag.

Battle damaged on a mission to a railway bridge crossingthe Iscaro River at Bolzano, South Tyrol,
Italy 13May44 (1WIA:9RTD). Flak at the target was heavy. The plane received damage and the
pilot was injured. Accident during a mission to a railway marshalling yard at Saint-Étienne,
France 26May44 (1KIA:1POW:2EVD:6RTD). The bomber was approximately sixty to seventy miles
inland north of Nice, France, on course to the target when an instantaneous explosion set the
cabin on fire. The pilot turned away from the formation immediately. The heat was so intense
that it appeared the crew must leave the plane. The co-pilot, bombardier, navigator, and upper
turret gunner, all in the forward part of the plane, bailed out over mountains on the French/Italian border.
The pilot then picked up a reciprocal heading for Corsica. The plane was filled with smoke and flying debris.
The fire was apparently caused by an explosion of oxygen, oil and electrical sparks. The crew had
emptied two Co2 fire extinguishers on the fire before they bailed out, but that did no apparent good.
The fire was spreading, the pilot switched on the automatic pilot, then threw out burning flak
suits and cushions. The ammunition cartridge belts were exploding and throwing tracers, incendiaries,
and powder all over the cockpit and cabin. The smoke was so thick at times that he could not see
the instrument panel, and had all four cockpit windows open as well as holding his oxygen hose
out the window so that he could breathe. Up to this time, it had been impossible to establish
contact with the gunners in the waist, since the interphone was burnt out. When 125 miles from
Corsica, the pilot attempted to establish contact by VHF radio. The radio operator had his jackbox
switched to command, and he told the pilot that there were crew members in the back; up
to that time, he thought that he was alone. The radio operator then set up an interphone system
through the liaison transmitter and receiver, and the pilot was able to contact the airmen in the
waist. The radio operator then came forward and extinguished part of the blaze on the walls
of the cabin and floor with his canteen of water and another bottle of Co2. The cockpit windows
were completely covered with cordite smoke from exploding cartridges and the pilot could not
see unless he stuck his head out the window into the slipstream. The two waist gunners, ball
turret gunner, and tail gunner wanted to bail out. The radio operator went forward again
and found that the fire was dying down, so went back to the rear of his compartment and
advised the gunners to stay put. By this time, the radio operator was in the cockpit and
helping maintain a steady contact with the radar station on Corsica. When approximately
ten minutes from Corsica, the fire, which had burned for forty-five to fifty minutes, was
finally extinguished. When the fire started, the plane was at 21,000ft, and the oxygen system
failed. The pilot dove the plane to 17,000ft and maintained that altitude until leaving the
coast of France, at which time he descended to 12,000ft as rapidly as possible since he
was nearly unconscious from lack of oxygen. The bomb load was jettisoned and the plane
reached Corsica where the pilot made an approach for landing. Because he could not see
very well through the windscreens, he overshot the landing, and when he did land the hydraulic
system failed in a shower of hydraulic fluid when the brakes were applied. This small
civilian airport at Ajaccio couldn’t accommodate larger planes so the bomber rolled past
the runway and out into an open field. Directly ahead of it, a farmer was plowing with a
team of horses. The pilot cut No.1, 2, and 3 engines while operating No.4 to the maximum.
He plowed furrows three feet deep when the plane spun around in a perfectly controlled ground
loop; it missed the farmer. Repaired and returned to Group. 49th Bomb Squadron Jun44.
Battle damaged on a mission to the aircraft engine factories at Wiener Neudorf,
Austria 26Jul44 (1WIA:9RTD). Flak was heavy, moderate and accurate resulting in injury
to the ball turret gunner. Battle damaged on a mission to the south railway bridge in
Budapest, Hungary 5Sep44 (1WIA:9RTD). Flak was intense and accurate causing serious
injury to the radio operator. On return, the plane landed at Foggia Main where he was
immediately taken to a hospital. Failed to return from a mission to the Sudetenländische
Treibstoffwerke AG synthetic oil refinery at Záluží, Brüx, Sudetenland 20Oct44 (10RTD).
Number one engine was hit by flak over the target; it kept running, but could not maintain
power. The pilot descended to 15,000ft and headed for Italy. Later, number four engine
lost power, then number one failed completely. Now down to only two engines, the airplane
continued to lose altitude, and when it reached 6,000ft, the number three engine stopped
from fuel starvation. By that time the crew was over the Adriatic and thirty miles from the
closest landing ground. The pilot decided to ditch while he still had some power left. At 400 feet,
the last engine stopped, and the pilot made a power off descent to a safe splashdown in the
Adriatic Sea off Ravenna, Italy. The crew climbed into the dinghies and a short time later
RAF Spitfires were circling over them. In about thirty minutes, a PBY Catalina landed, picked
them up, and took them to the Foggia Station Hospital for observation .MACR 5831.

Named "Ol'Gappy/Topper". . Supposedly, OL’ GAPPY was originally to be named TOPPER,
but before the artwork was completed, OL’ GAPPY was painted on the chin turret as a joke against
a particular older ground crewmen missing several teeth. The name stuck and the nose-art was
never completed because it was thought bad luck to do so

Ashfield (Station 155), Suffolk 9Dec43. Accident forming up for a mission to a Luftwaffe airfield at
Tutow, Germany 20Feb44 (3KIA:7RTD). A flare pistol malfunctioned starting a fire in the forward
fuselage. The pilot ordered the crew to bail out but the engineer was trapped in the top turret
so the two pilots remained, attempting a forced landing. The cockpit was seen to be a mass
of flames as the plane crash landed and was destroyed by fire at Manor Farm, Tuttington,
near Aylsham, Norfolk. According to local sources, one of these airmen landed in a field
occupied by a fearsome and somewhat unwelcoming bull, and, the story goes, the American
had to use his pistol, firing in front of the bull to keep it at bay while he exited the creature's
territory as fast as he could. The seven survivors assembled and made their way towards
a nearby farmhouse only to be greeted at the door by a woman who announced that she was
expecting them - the breakfast table was laid for seven places. The housewife told them
that she dreamed of their crash the previous night, so she knew they would be arriving and
had arranged breakfast. Salvaged 22Feb44

535th Bomb Squadron [MS*W] Named "Me And My Gal" . Severely battle damaged on a mission
to the manufacturing facilities of the Junkers Flugzeug-und Motorenwerke at Dessau, Germany
30May44 (1POW:1MIA). The bomber flew Wing lead and was the first plane to get hit by 88mm
anti-aircraft fire and German fighter planes. Two engines were knocked out of action and a
third was only providing reduced power. The ball turret was jettisoned and the crew threw
machine guns and everything of any weight over board. The co-pilot and flight engineer both
thought they were going to crash and jumped out over Berlin. The tail gunner had a pilot’s license
and took over to fly the B-17 while the pilot transferred fuel to the good 1 and 1/2 engines
on the left wing. Out of formation, two P-38s and two P-51s came to their rescue and the
German planes took off. The plane was hard to fly, the left wing had to be kept up or the
plane would go into a tail spin. It was flying just above stall speed and passed over the
English Channel at 500 feet, landing at Ridgewell after midnight. It had been in the air 18 hours.
The ground crew counted 220 holes in the plane. The co-pilot was a prisoner of war, the flight
engineer was never found. 448th Sub-Depot, Air Service Command, Ridgewell for repairs Jun44.

40491 (380th BG, 528th BS, "Poochie") crashlanded and burnt out in grass fire Aug 4, 1942.
Major Ware and his crew made a fat-cat flight to Sydney, Australia in 42-40491), ‘Poochie’,
borrowed from the 528th Bomb Squadron. The night spent in Sydney proved a little too
much for the crew on the return trip July 29, 1942, and somewhere over the
Northern Territory they discovered that ‘Poochie’ was lost and running
of gas. Unable to locate a landing strip, Major Ware finally set the
plane down in a crash landing on a large grassy flat (near Black Sand Plain)
which ultimately turned out to be somewhere near the mouth of the Daly River.
The plane was not badly damaged and a few sprains were the only casualties.
They found themselves in the unpleasant predicament, however, of being
completely without water and isolated in an unknown part of the bush country.
The former problem was fairly easily solved, for the plane was carrying
a load of whiskey and beer back to Fenton and the bottles had not been
broken in landing. Soon nearly everyone in the party had quenched his
thirst by consuming ample quantities of the alcoholic beverages, with
the usual results. Three search planes had been dispatched, and Captain
Gus Connery soon picked up distress signals being sent out on the
Gibson Girl radio by M/Sgt. James Griffin, communications chief, one
of the unlucky passengers on ‘Poochie’. As the search plane reached
the vicinity of the lost party, the men on the ground set off flares to
mark their position. This maneuver had poor results, for the grass
caught fire downwind of the plane and the blaze spread quickly,
devouring ‘Poochie’ and all the equipment aboard

towing airplane dangerously. The pilot, apparently to avoid endangering the tow plane,
released the glider, which nosed up, slipped into a stall and crashed on the airfield.

assigned; not taken up. Registered 24Oct61 as N20200; cancelled 3Aug18. Damaged landing at Livermore, CA 18Nov03.
The pilot reported to the FAA that he had run through his checklist and extended the landing gear. However, he admitted
to have touched down first on the nose landing gear, then the mains. A sudden wind gust upset his landing and he over
compensated in bringing the aircraft to ground. Minimal damage was incurred as a result of the failed nose landing gear
strut. [the Spartan 7W is a tail wheel aircraft]. Registered 28Nov18 as N20200; current [Sep20].

Quartzite, AZ 25Feb44 (1KIS). The WASP trainee pilot was on the return leg of a solo
cross-country training flight to Tucson and had just left Blythe Field, CA. The pilot was
seen by a witness on the ground to bail out of a smoking aircraft. Taking two other men
to help him, the witness, a miner, located the pilot about 45 minutes later. The pilot had
been dragged by her parachute over rocky ground in the strong wind and was seriously i
njured. She was taken by truck to Quartzite and was transferred to an Army ambulance and
taken to the Base Hospital at Blythe Army Air Field. She died from her injuries shortly after
admission to the hospital. Examination of the crash site found the wreckage in two main areas.
Part of the tail section, including the right horizontal stabilizer, was found in a burned
condition at the top of a mountain. The rest of the plane was found at the foot of the mountain
with no signs of burning. The report concludes that the WASP abandoned the plane after
sparks from the engine exhaust set fire to the fabric covered horizontal stabilizer and she
lost control of the plane. Surveyed at Matagorda Peninsula Field, TX 24Mar44.

they sold $72,000 in war bonds and stamps, enough to buy not one, but four Gibson gliders.
However, only one would be named. The children decided to name the glider ‘The Flying Falcon’.
An officer of the Gibson Refrigerator Company had decided the name Flying Falcon was not fierce
enough and he had changed it to ‘The Fighting Falcon’. For their contribution to the war effort
the children were awarded the US Treasury Department’s Distinguished Service Award, the first
time this award had ever been given to a group of children. The Falcon was towed to Black Field,
the Greenville High School football field where it was christened and turned over to the
US Army Air Force on May 19, 1943, following a much publicized dedication ceremony attended
by high-level government and local officials. It was subsequently disassembled, packed in
five huge wooden crates, and loaded on two railroad flat cars. Approximately 2 June, two weeks
after its dedication, it left Greenville headed for Tobyhanna Army Depot in Pennsylvania,
where it was stored until it was moved by rail to a mid-Atlantic port for transit by ship to England.
In April 1944 it was uncrated and assembled by work crews of the 26th Mobile Reclamation
and Repair Squadron (Heavy) at Crookham Common (Station429), Berkshire. After learning of
The Fighting Falcon and its unique history, General Paul Williams decreed that it would be
the lead glider in the D-Day invasion of Normandy in recognition of the Greenville school
children’s patriotic spirit. On 3 June 1944, three days before D-Day, Colonel Murphy decided
to replace the original Falcon with a CG-4A equipped with the frontal crash protection device,
the Griswold Nose. After all of the publicity photographs were taken the original Gibson-built
Falcon was shunted back to position No. 45 in the 52 glider “Chicago” serial. Murphy then
ordered a hasty paint job on the replacement glider to make it look like the original Falcon.

47379 (MSN 7321) to USAAF Jul 2, 1942. 60th Troop Carrier Squadron, 63rd Troop Carrier Group,
Victorville Army Flying School, CA. On 16 December 1942, the aircraft took off from South Plains Army Air Field
towing a Waco CG-4A glider being ferried to Victorville Army Flying School at Victorville, California.
The flight plan included an overnight stop at Tucson, Arizona. In addition to the flight crew the aircraft
carried four passengers. It was almost dark when the tow plane/glider combination arrived over
Blythe Army Air Field, California, 150 miles south of Victorville. Suddenly, the glider pilot saw a light blinking
in the astrodome of the C-53, the normal night signal for the pilot to release the glider. Believing they were over
Tucson, their planned overnight stop, the pilot released his glider and landed. Once on the ground he began
staking down the glider and adding chocks to the ailerons, elevators and rudder. Just as he completed
preparing the glider for an overnight stay the tower notified him that the C-53 pilot had radioed that the glider
had landed at the wrong base. The tower operator added that the C-53 was landing to retrieve the glider.
The C-53 copilot had erroneously given the cutoff signal. After the tow plane landed it took some time for
base personnel to locate the tow rope in the fading light. The glider pilot tried to convince the tow pilot to
remain overnight but he refused. Eye-witnesses indicated that the tow pilot appeared to be anxious to get
underway. He taxyed the C-53 to a point adjacent to the east end of the east-west runway and stopped.
The glider copilot took a flashlight and motioned the tow plane into position on the runway. Then the glider
was towed into position behind the tow plane. When the glider was in position the tow rope was hooked
to the C-53 while the glider pilot hooked it to the CG-4A, one of many mistakes; the tow rope was not to be
hooked to the glider until both pilots were in their seats with their safety belts fastened. The glider pilot
instructed an aircraft mechanic from the base to get the flashlight and stand by the left wingtip of the
tow plane so he could signal the tow pilot to take up the slack in the tow rope. Just before entering the glider
the pilot noticed that the chocks had not been removed from the ailerons, elevators and rudder. He instructed
his copilot to remove the chocks from the right aileron while he removed them from the elevators and rudder.
He started for the left aileron when suddenly the glider began moving forward. The tow pilot had interpreted
the half-moon signal given to take up the tow rope slack as the signal to take off. As the glider moved forward
the glider pilot ran for the door of the glider but never made it; the glider was moving too fast. Before he and
his copilot could get out of the way, the rear elevator struck them and knocked them down. The tow plane
took off and made a 270 degree turn to the right, flew south a short distance, turned left and then made a
360 degree turn to the right. At this point the tow plane was over the south edge of the field at approximately
400 feet when the pilot released the glider. The aircraft accident report indicated that the pilotless glider
collided with the tow plane damaging the left horizontal stabilizer causing the pilot to lose control of the
aircraft. The C-53 stalled and crashed almost immediately followed by the glider a short distance away [8KIS].
