Jerry Lashin served with the 447th Bombardment Group USAAF, based at RAF Rattlesden in Suffolk.
It would appear that he completed another five missions after the award for the twenty-five flown above. Jerry Lashin's mission listing, flown over the summer of 1944: June 4 - over Versailles, France June 6 - D-Day, Normandy, France June 7 - Nantes, France June 11 - Le Touquet, France June 14 - Florennce, Belgium June 15 - Hanover, Germany July 12 - Munich, Germany July 14 - near Vichy, France July 18 - Cuxhaven, Germany July 21 - Regensburg, Germany July 24 - near St Lo, France July 25 - St Lo, France August 2 - Paris, France August 9 - Nuremberg, Germany August 11 - Belfort, France August 13 - Rouen, France August 15 - Germany August 16 - Altenberg, Germany August 24 - Brax? August 25 - Richlin, Germany August 30 - Bremen, Germany September 1 - Mainz, Germany September 5 - Brest, France September 9 - St Laurent, France September 17 - Arnhem, Netherlands September 25 - Ludwigshaven, Germany September 26 - Bremen and on to Bremerhaven, Germany September 28 - Merseburg, Germany October 2 - Kassel, Germany October 3 - Gibelstadt, Germany The original handwritten lists of his missions, among other items, can be found at the American Air Museum in Britain website. You can only speculate on how much of a toll on a crewman's mental wellbeing was taken as each mission was flown. As the number of survived missions increased, so would his chances of not returning from the next one.

Re: the AF plane.... It is hoovering up the water from the puddle below the engine pod. The water spins in a vortex due to the rotation of the engine primary fan.

Why am I imagining a single strafing run right now?
Perhaps too many hours in a combat flight simulator? |
