Re: 15th AF B-24 55th Bomber Wing ID
This happened on July 26,1944. The plane belonged to the 780th BS. The co-pilot was badly wounded and the pilot (Lt. Harry K. Godfrey) tried to crash land the plane after the crew had bailed out, but unfortunately hit a tree during the landing, killing himself and the wounded copilot (Lt. William J. Hooper)
