The following story of ‘Round Trip’ is from the ‘WWII Airborne Demonstration Team’ website:- “On the evening on 5-6th June 1944, piloted by Captain Lloyd G. Neblett, C-47 43-15644 numbered Z4 was on the first wave of the paratrooper drop into Normandy. The crew consisted of Co-Pilot 2nd Lt. O’Brien, Navigator 2nd Lt. Bauernfiend, Crew Chief T/Sgt Mosely and Radio Operator Sgt St. John. They were able to deploy a full stick of 18 troopers of the 2nd Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, despite the aircraft being severely damaged by a falling bundle from another aircraft. Even with a severely damaged wing, Lloyd and his Co-pilot Tom O’Brien were able to regain control of the aircraft, maintain height, drop the troopers on the correct DZ and limp home to England. Flying the crippled plane home in darkness, Lloyd was able to return to his base in England and landed without any further damage to the plane. Despite the damage, "Round Trip" was repaired and flew many subsequent missions in WW2. For his courage for his courage, professional skill, initiative and determination on the D-Day Normandy mission, Lloyd received the Distinguished Flying Cross” |
