Lester&#8217;s crew reports observing a B-17 in flames at 22.000 feet, which plane they believed to be our high squadron. The plane under observation made a 180 degree turn, flying level, and three chutes were seen to come out. The ship was losing altitude and was under observation for five minutes before it went into a dive, losing a wing and disintegrating at 15.000 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source: MACR 10758<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Delivered Cheyenne 29\/6\/44; Kearney 11\/7\/44; Grenier 16\/7\/44; Assigned 838BS\/487BG Lavenham 17\/7\/44; 839BS [R5-V]; Missing in Action Hamm 26\/11\/44 with Burr Davidson, Doug Brink, Willard Blanchard, Roy Denure, Clarry Becker, Bill Millard, Chas McBride, Milton Price, Joe Dory (Prisoner of War); flak, crashed Osnabruck, Ger.
