Bomber “Marauder” B-26, serial number 43-34565, Gratis Gladys, 7I-B, 497 Squadron, 344th Bombardment Group, 9th U.S. Air Force is crashing to the ground after receiving a direct hit in the left engine during the bombing of Erkelenz, Germany, 23 Feb 1945. The discovery of the serial number and unit of this plane was a hard job. Once I gathered all the sources, I uploaded all the information to @imperialwarmuseums ‘s American Air Museum in Britain. The Gratis Gladys was declared Failed to Return 23 February 1945 during a bombing mission to Erkelenz. After receiving flak explosions in its left flank, the plane crashed, killing all the crew, Pilot Capt. Carl Franklin Chapman, Co-Pilot 1st Lt John Jack Sheehan, Bomb. 2nd Lt James Richard Harl, Nav. 1st Lt. Kenneth Gordon, Radio/Gun T/Sgt. J P Herndon, Eng/Turret S/Sgt Ballard James Bentley, and Tail/Armor S/Sgt. W T Williamson. #historiansunion #colored #colorized #colourised #colorization #colourisation #color #colour #history #military #ww1 #wwi #worldwarone #greatwar #lagrandeguerra #thegreatwar#ww2 #wwii #worldwartwo #military #war #warfare #erkelenz #marauder #pilot #pilots #bomb #kaboom #IWM |
