Well Marie ... It's Friday, 3:30 am on the West Coast. Here's a little additional information for you about this Mission 73 to Berlin, on June 21, 1944. The sad tale to report is we have no records (Loading Lists) for this mission. The Pilot was Robert M. Krumm, a veteran of twenty-nine combat missions. Aircraft #42-10715 had lost two engines and could not maintain flying speed to keep up with the Bomber Group formation, The pilot left the formation, dropped his bombs in the Baltic Sea and landed in Sweden. The only identified crew members aboard the A/C were the two Pilots Krumm and Green, the Flight Engineer T/Sgt Joe Hibbs and the Left Waist Gunner Tony Tozzi.
