AN 9th AIR FORCE BOMBER
STATION. England.-High in the
sky over Germany, sergt. Raymond
E. Frisk, 10, Of Washington, got the
first dreaded warning-he smelled
smoke through his oxygen mask.
There was fire somewhere In this
Flying Fortress.
The plane was beginning a new
bombing run over a German war
plant at Duisburg, It's second within
a few minutes. The first bombing
run had been Cancelled by the wing
commander. The Fort had closed its
bomb bay doors and 1t was then that
the smell Of smoke drifted through
the plane.
The crew began a frantic search.
Sergt. Frisk, from his cramped quar-
tiers in the top turret, searched
among the masses of wiring and
tubing.
Meanwhile the Fort was we'll into
its second bombing run and the order
was given to open the bomb bay
doors again. But this time they
wouldn't open and then Sergt. Frisk
discovered the trouble. The bomb
bay door motor was on fire, blazing
briskly in the bomb bay filled with
high explosives and beginning to
pour out smoke.
Sergt. Frisk snatched up a fire
extinguisher and for several minutes
he battled the blaze before he
brought it under control and then
put 1t out Meanwhile, the pilot, 1t.

passed, there was still trouble. The
bomb bay doors wouldn't open and ID
was close to bombs away" time.
Sergt. Frisk laboriously cranked the
doors open by hand just in time
and then the bombs wouldn't release,
So they had to be brought back to
the home base, where a perilous
landing was safely made
