B24 Bombeflyveren
Mere end 500 amerikanske bombefly var den 9. april 1944 på bombetogt til Polen og Tyskland.
Den 9. april 1944 kl. 11:15 nødlandede ”B24 42-52569” ved Saksfjedgård på Lolland, hvor dette monument blev afsløret den 5. maj 1946.
"Ved overflyvningen blev formationen angrebet af tyske jagere syd for Fyn. 42-52569 blev ramt, og piloten forsøgte en nødlanding. Formationslederen så maskinen foretage en perfekt nødlanding, men inden da var de fleste besætningsmedlemmer sprunget ud med faldskærm. Flere sprang dog i for lav højde og fik derfor alvorlige kvæstelser.
En enkelt (Sgt, Tail Gunner Gerrard Horton) hang fast i flyet. Han kom først fri 100 m over jorden og blev dræbt i faldet.
To skytter (Sgt, Right Waist Gunner Forest E. Kayser og Sgt, Left Waist Gunner Zvonimir Sambol) blev muligvis dræbt under angrebet, eller da flyet umiddelbart efter nødlandingen brød i brand.
5 sårede (2nd Lt, Bombardier William T. Spitler, 2nd Lt, Pilot Albert J. Taft, 2nd Lt, Co-Pilot Fernando A. Tellez, S/Sgt, Radio Operator Donald C. Olson og Sgt, Ball Turret Gunner Richard A. Johnson) søgte hjælp i et hus ved Hyldtofte, og en ambulance bragte dem senere til hospitalet.
De to øvrige besætningsmedlemmer (2nd Lt, Navigator Robert A. Marsh og T/Sgt Edward H. Gore) blev kort efter taget til fange af tyskerne." (FT 86-90-21) (Navne fra AOD, der har mere.)
De tre dræbte flyvere blev begravet på Svinø Kirkegård den 11. april 1944.
I 1948 blev de overført til Ardennes American Cemetery and Memorial, Neuville-en-Condroz i Belgien. (Kilde: FAF)

B24 Flying Bomber
On 9 April 1944 more than 500 American bombers were on a bombing raid on Poland and Germany.
On 9 April 1944 at 11:24 ”B24 42-52569” made a forced landing at Saksfjedgaard on Lolland, where this monument was unveiled on 5 May 1946.
"At the overflight the formation was attacked by German fighters south of Fyn. 42-52569 was hit, and the pilot attempted a forced landing. The leader of the formation saw the plane carry out a perfect forced landing, but most of the crew members had bailed out before that. Several of them bailed out at a low altitude and that caused severe injuries.
One airman (Sgt, Tail Gunner Gerrard Horton) got caught by the plane. He did not get away from it until 100 m off the ground. He was killed on impact.
Two gunners (Sgt, Right Waist Gunner Forest E. Kayser and Sgt, Left Waist Gunner Zvonimir Sambol) were possibly killed during the attack, or when the plane caught fire immediately after the crash landing.
5 injured airmen (2nd Lt, Bombardier William T. Spitler, 2nd Lt, Pilot Albert J. Taft, 2nd Lt, Co-Pilot Fernando A. Tellez, S/Sgt, Radio Operator Donald C. Olson and Sgt, Ball Turret Gunner Richard A. Johnson) asked for help in a house at Hyldtofte. Later an ambulance took them to a hospital.
2 airmen ((2nd Lt, Navigator Robert A. Marsh and T/Sgt Edward H. Gore) were shortly after captured by the Germans." (FT 86-90-21) (Names from AOD, which has more.)
The 3 deceased airmen were buried in Svinø Churchyard on 11 April 1944.
In 1948 they were disinterred and transferred to Ardennes American Cemetery and Memorial, Neuville-en-Condroz in Belgium. (Source: FAF)
