Den 13. juni 1943 angreb 60 B-17 fra
USAAF ubådsanlæggene i Kiel. 16 B-17 fra 95. BG
fløj forrest i formationen,
der allerede blev angrebet under indflyvningen
til målet. Som sædvanlig angreb de tyske
jagermaskiner især den forreste del af formationen, og inden denne havde
passeret målet var 7-8 B-17 fra 95. BG gået tabt.
En B-17 ude af kontrol fløj ind i en anden, og
kun 6 B-17 fra 95. BG nåede
tilbage til basen, hvoraf en blev ødelagt under nødlanding.

On 13 June 1943 60 B-17s from the USAAF
attacked the U-boat pens in Kiel. 16 B-17s from 95th BG flew at the front of the
formation which was attacked on
the bombing run to the target.
As usual the German fighters particularly
attacked the front of the formation, and before it had passed the target 7-8
B-17s from 95th
BG were lost. One B-17 out of control collided with
another, and only 6 B-17s
from 95th BG made it back to base - and one of them was destroyed
in a forced
landing.

This plane was hit after it had flown over the target, but no parachutes were
seen before the plane hit the water. Later the body of the Co-Pilot drifted
ashore on the
