Den 28. juli 1943 styrtede B17 42-30401 i havet nær den tyske kyst efter at være ramt af en tysk jager. Flyet var på bombetogt til Oschersleben Airfield.
Hele besætningen omkom. (Kilde: FAF og AOD)

2nd Lieutenant Marshall Herrick var Bombardier på B17 42-30401. Den 12. august 1943 blev han fundet drevet ind ved Lakolk på Rømø (omkring her).
Den 16. august 1943 blev han begravet på Kirkeby Kirkegård på Rømø. I 1948 blev han og andre Amerikanske flyvere fra Kirkeby flyttet til
Ardennes American Cemetery i Belgien. (Kilde: FAF og AOD)
Hans navn er ikke i registret hos ABMC, så mest sandsynligt blev han begravet på en privat kirkegård i USA.

1 flyver fra B17 42-30401 blev begravet i Esbjerg, 1 i Kirkeby på Rømø og 1 i USA. 7 flyvere har ingen kendt grav. (6 mindet i CAMBRIDGE, 1 i NETHERLANDS)

MACR p196 B17 42-30401: "4 amerikanske bombefly styrtede i Nordsøen mellem den tyske kyst og Helgoland den morgen." (Måske omkring her).
De 3 af dem må være B17 42-30401 * B17 42-3316 * B17 42-30394.

On 28 July 1943 B17 42-30401 crashed into the sea near the German Coast after it had been hit by fire from a German fighter.
The plane was on a bombing raid on Oschersleben A/F. All of the crew perished. (Source: FAF, AOD and MACR)

2nd Lieutenant Marshall Herrick was the Bombardier of B17 42-30401. On 12 August 1943 he was found washed ashore near Lakolk on Rømø (about here).
On 16 August 1943 he was buried in Kirkeby Churchyard on Rømø. In 1948 he and other American airmen buried in Kirkeby were disinterred and taken
to Ardennes American Cemetery in BELGIUM. (Source: FAF and AOD)
His name is not in the ABMC records, so most likely he was buried in a private cemetery in the U.S.A.

1 airman from B17 42-30401 was buried in Esbjerg, 1 in Kirkeby, Rømø, and 1 in the U.S.A. 7 airmen have no known grave. (6 CAM, 1 NET)

MACR p196 B17 42-30401: "4 USAAF bombers crashed in the North Sea between German Coast and Heligoland that morning." (Maybe about here).
3 of them must be B17 42-30401 * B17 42-3316 * B17 42-30394.
