A/C #42-31534 "POWERHOUSE"
MACR #5166, Microfiche #1852
GROUND CREW
CHIEF: SGT GEORGE PULLAR
350TH SQDN...CREW,
AS ABOVE, JOINED THE 100TH ON 21 FEB 1944.
OFTEN APPEARS ON COMBAT CREW ROSTERS AS CREW # 12. THEY WERE LOST
ON THEIR 26TH MISSION--EIGHT OF WHICH WERE TO BERLIN
(There were were actually nine, the 03 Mar 1944 one was recalled;
it is likely in view of the fact Malooly flew 7:00 hrs that day, they came
very close or may have actually bombed Berlin. By all accounts this crew
must be credited with eight (8) and likely nine (9) Berlin bombings. I
know of no other 100th crew that made as many trips to the dreaded "Big B"...paul west
EYEWITNESS

OBSERVATION WAS MADE IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO FIGHTER ATTACKS AND 10/10 CLOUD
CONDITIONS. A/C NUMBERS 534, 845, 941, AND 095 BELIEVED LOST NEAR SAME
TIME. EIGHT (8) CHUTES SEEN IN THE AIR BUT NOT POSSIBLE TO TELL WHICH
PLANE THEY CAME FROM. FORMATION BADLY BROKEN UP; ALL AIRCRAFT BELIEVE LOST
TO E/C."

TAPS -- FRANCIS J. MALOOLY:
October 6, 1993.
Born in Chicago; in the
transportation business most of his life. Frank (to all 100th veterans) and Ester were important members of
the committee who organized the Long Beach reunion. They bought Ev
Blakely's home in Northridge. When Frank's family owned a Chicago
executive limousine service catering to Chicago businessmen and
politicians
in the 30's, they realized that most of their bills were paid by Al
Capone. Frank was a 350th pilot and a POW. In a splendid eulogy an old
friend reported that Frank's love of food stemmed from his POW hardships
and his fondness for the 100th. He always said that he enjoyed life
whether it was having a drink with Jimmy Doolittle, playing golf on the
Sultan's course in Morocco, or in learning a little Russian to help a
travel agent client -- because he almost lost his life in the 100th ..
Frank Malooly was one of the His eight (Frank always said six
or seven, but it was eight, likely nine) missions to Berlin, I believe,
are more than any other 100th crew flew.
He will not be forgotten by comrades and is often remembered fondly
in conversation with 100th veterans.
Frank would have wanted it so..
