351ST SQDN.. CREW, AS ABOVE, JOINED THE 100TH ON 17 MAR 1944This crew
flew aircraft 107007 "SHE-HASTA"
for some twenty-six of their missions. History has assigned the "Runaway Gun"
incident of July 11, 1944 that killed BTG S/Sgt Homer Parish to this B-17. This is in error, Lt. Woldt
reports flying 107007 on the July 11, 1944 Munich mission and his aircraft
suffering damage to it's main gear struts from the 50 cal fire from a neighboring plane.
This mix up was most probably caused by an error on the 11 Jul 44 Crew
Roster, where Lt Woldt is shown as flying aircraft 97128, a number that I
find no matching 100th aircraft for-- Lt Ricci is erroneously listed as
flying 107007-- Likely he flew aircraft #42-31256 "King Bee." It was with the Ricci crew that S/Sgt Parish flew on
11 Jul 1944 and was Killed by the runaway ball turret's 50 Cal. The error
is confirmed by Mr. Woldt and members of his crew from personal records as
well as their memory of the incident...pw |
