What Happened

2nd Lt David A. Lipow attended the University of California for one year before he joined the Regular Army in Los Angeles, California on 24 August 1942. | | Sgt Walter P. Gambill: | "Just before bombs away, the pilot of our aircraft called out, 'B-17 hit by flak at one o’clock.' It was the lead ship of our formation of the 97th Bomb Group. I turned my turret to watch it fall, and at this time the aircraft was going straight down. It was heading to the rear of our formation at the same time. It almost straightened out when I saw five chutes come out, and they all opened, and then the aircraft blew up. That is the last of the aircraft in trouble I saw. | | 2nd Lt David A. Lipow was lying on the floor in Navigator’s compartment just before the explosion. His remains were never recovered.
