the L. o. Koven Bros.
A press dispatch to The Globe
Independent from an Eighth Air
Force Bomber Station in England,
gives an interesting account of the
exploits of the Damn Yankee"
since last April one of the "regu-
lars" on the Eighth Air Forces
team of target smashers, on which
Staff Sgt. Roger r. Frederick, son
of Mrs. J. L. Frederick, Preston
Road, Fountain Head Heights, is
tail section machine gunner. He
has 80 combat operations over
Europe to his credit and wears the
Distinguished Flying Cross and the
Air Medal with three Oak Leaf
Clusters. Here is the story:
Just 10 minutes away lay the OBJ
jective, a Luftwaffe fighter field in
Germany, but this was the fateful
day when Lady Luck chose to de-
sert the Damn Yankee" which on
SO previous assignments, had
reached her objective and dellv-
cred the goods.
AS Damn Yankee" kept adding
to her increasing perfect record of
always attaining the target she be-
came an institution among the men
of the 384th Bomb Group. She had
absorbed severe punishment from
enemy weapons, but she always
healed quickly under the physi-
cian-like care of her mechanics
and always she went back for
more.
The 384th had its heart set on a
mark of 100 perfect missions for
the BIZ Flying Fortress, a feat
that has rarely been achieved by a
four-engine bomber, but what
would have been No. 81 turned out
to be the battle-scarred crafts
SIulllD1lllS D1OCh.
One of the planes engines had
been giving trouble during most of
the flight, and finally, when a cylin-
der head blew off, almost within
sight of the target, the pilot had
little choice but to head back to
England. Crew mates say there
was bitter disappointment written
across his face as he peeled out of
formation.
Back at the base, after his plane
had returned, Staff Sgt. Charles F.
Hruby, 31-year-old former Cleve-
land interior decorator, who has
headed Damn Yankees" ground
maintenance crew since the bomb
er reported for duty on the Euro
pean aerial front, philosphically
summed up the situation:
Luck plays 9O-per cent role"
he said. What happened today
AAoo 11ctPPC11CO SGNSl o1 LILIES DSlOIS,
only then it occurred on the trip
home after the target had been
bombed. It's a good ship and it's
got lot of missions left in it.
"It's popular among the pilots
because it flies SO easily" he added.
Overlooked amid the disappoint-
ment over the failure of the Damn
Yankee" to attain the hundred
mark, was the fact that the plane
had pretty impressive record
with SO perfect missions. No other
ship on the base has come close to
that figure, and the 384th Group
has been hitting at the Germans 20
months and has carried out more
than $50 operational missions. Few
bombers anywhere can boast of
such a record.
