Re: 15th AF B-24 55th Bomber Wing ID
Yes.... The pilot's action was a one way ticket to Heaven. Just like Valerian Klein's on August 22, 1944 in his B-24J, 42-51300 (451 BG) who offered his parachute for somebody else, whose was damaged and then exploded midair when his crashlanding attempt failed. Amazing heroism and self-sacrifice.
