303rd BG (H) Combat Mission No. 34120 March 1945

Target: Oil Refinery at Hamburg, GermanyCrews Dispatched: 39

Crews Lost: Lt. Taub - 3 KIA, 7 POW; Lt. Moore - 5 KIA, 3 POW

Length of Mission: 7 hours

Bomb Load: 12 X 500 lb H.E. M43 bombs

Bombing Altitudes: 26,000, 24,800, & 27,000 ft

Ammo Fired: 24,695 rounds

Major Glynn F. Shumake, CO 358BS, flew as co-pilot with 1Lt. Clarence J.Goodberlet in #43-38554 358BS Bouncing Betty III. Field Order targetdesignations for the 39 303rd BG(H) B-17s were:

First Hamburg, Germany — oil refinery (visual)Second Hamburg, Germany — another refinery (visual)Third Hamburg, Germany — submarine yards (visual)

In the target area there were 6/10 low clouds with tops at 10,000 feet and 1/10 to2/10 cirrus with bases at 28,000 feet. Contrails at the target bombing altitude were light andnon-persistent, but became dense and persistent as the Group lost altitude while leavingthe target. Thirty-eight aircraft dropped 456 500-lb. H.E. M43 bombs on the second prioritytarget by PFF with unobserved results. One aircraft dropped two 500-lb. bombs on theNordhois airfield as a target of opportunity. Moderate to intense and fairly accurate flak wasencountered at the target.

A force of 15 to 20 ME-262 German fighters attacked the 303rd BG(H) Forts forabout 30 minutes as they came off the bomb run and started home. The enemy fighterspressed their attacks as close as 50 feet, sometimes zooming right through the formation.Most aircraft attacked on the tail level, although a few hit on the nose and from the sides.Good friendly fighter support, by 72 P-51s, prevented the ME-262s from making prolongedand coordinated attacks. Three 303rd BG(H) aircraft sustained major battle damage andseventeen, minor damage.

The ME-262s successfully downed two Group B-17s. B-17G #43-39160 G forGeorge 358BS, piloted by 2Lt. Francis R. Taub, was flying on the right wing of the highflight leader in the high 360BS formation – the most vulnerable spot in the formation. ThreeME-262s, the first Germany jet aircraft seen by the crew, shot off the vertical stabilizer ontheir first pass. On the second pass they hit the #3 engine and set the right wing on fire.During the attack some of the crew believed that Sgt. James L. Hollowell shot down oneof the ME-262s – one of the few jets to be shot down during World War II. 2Lt. Charles P.Johnson (NAV) gave the pilot a course heading for Sweden, but it quickly became obviousthat it would be impossible to remain airborne. The order was given to bail out and theFortress went into a spin. The two pilots were struggling to gain control of the spinningaircraft so others could bail out. Lt. Johnson pushed S/Sgt. Warren F. Chrisman out thenose hatch, bailed out himself, blacked out and regained consciousness in time to pull the

ME-262s — NOT ME-210sUnusual Experience of S/Sgt. Leroy Faulkner

My most memorable experience as a member of the 360th Bomb Squadron,happened on the mission to Hamburg, Germany on 20 March 1945. I was the Togglieron Lt. Larry Tyler’s crew. We encountered heavy flak on the bomb run.

Just as I said “Bombs Away,” Larry started our turn away from the target. All atonce, Lt. B. J. Hamm, our copilot called out, “ME-210s at 3:00 o’clock.” I looked out andsaw the planes streaking ahead of us and said, “Those aren’t 210s, they are ME-262s,the German Jet fighter.”

They harassed us all the way out over the North Sea. They were awesome as wecould not track them with our turret guns—they were just “too fast.” It turned out to be avery scary mission.

Throughout my World War II career, I never lost an aircraft recognition test. Thenight before this mission, I had visited the Intelligence Office and saw pictures of the ME-262 for the very first time. I shall never forget that mission!

MUST I THROW OUT MY ORANGE?Unusual Experience of S/Sgt John Woolpert, 360BS Tail Gunner

Our mission was to Hamburg on the 20th of March 1945, and the target was thefuel supply for the new German jet, the Me-262. On the way over, we were hit by anti-aircraft fire which took out one engine.

We lost another engine over the target, and then an Me-262 came after us. Itshot out our third engine, but I was able to hit the jet fighter from the tail position.

Flying with one engine, our pilot decided to try to make it back to Molesworth. Inorder to save fuel, he told us to dump everything that was not essential. While we weretossing things out, the navigator asked the pilot on the intercom if he had to throw out anorange he was planning to eat. This broke the tension and helped us through a veryscary time. We made it back to Molesworth.
