Under et bombetogt til Berlin styrtede B24 42-50329 i havet ved Årø i Lillebælt (omkring her - Kilde: AOD) efter at de 10 flyvere var sprunget ud med faldskærm.

Staff Sergeant (Waist Gunner) George Tarant blev fundet ved Lyø den 21. juni 1944 og begravet samme dag i Faaborg.

Efter krigen blev han og andre Amerikanske flyvere flyttet til Ardennes American Cemetery i Belgien. (Kilde: FAF)
Hans navn er ikke i registret hos ABMC, så mest sandsynligt blev han begravet på en privat kirkegård i USA.

På Årø er dette monument for de omkomne. (Kilde: FAF) 10 flyvere.

During a bombing raid to Berlin B24 42-50329 crashed in the sea at Årø in Lillebælt (about here - Source: AOD) after the 10 airmen had bailed out.

Staff Sergeant (Waist Gunner) George Tarant was found at Lyø on 21 June, 1944 and buried the same day in Faaborg.

Like nearly all other American airmen buried in Denmark he was taken to Ardennes American Cemetery after the war.
His name is not in the ABMC records, so most likely he was buried in a private cemetery in the U.S.A.

This monument to the perished airmen is erected on Årø. (Source: FAF) See also memorial stone to William J. Mulligan in Sandager Churchyard.
