Musashino, Tokyo
On January 9, 1945, Waddy's Wagon was returning from a bombing mission on the Nakajima Aircraft Company in Musashino, Tokyo, when Young spotted a B-29 piloted by friend and 1st Lt. Ben Crowell from Crew A-6 with severe damage from a kamikaze attack. Young attempted to protect the plane from further attacks but both aircraft collided, and all crew involved was killed. The final radio transmission from Waddy's Wagon said, "We are okay."
