Rare shot of Cap'n Crow. This
ship had a tragic ending.
This 349th aircraft flow by the Ralph W. Wright crew was one of 23 planes of the
100th, which took off from Thorpe Abbotts between 0550 and 0600 hours
May 7, 1944 to take part in the 8th AAF mission to Berlin. The group
formed over the base at 0655 hours, and 42-38053 apparently crashed
around 0713 hours. The aircraft was flying in formation and was
approaching the English coastline when several dozen flares stored
in the top turret suddenly began to explode--cause undetermined--
and set fire to the entire front of the plane. Five of the
crew were KIA.
