Se også Venslev.dk med en personlig beretning af Ejvind Friis.

"296 B-17 angreb flyfabrikker i området nær Tutow (her) og enkelte enheder bombede Rostock (her). 6 fly gik tabt pga. Ju88 angreb over Fyn (her) på udturen.
42-37951 blev ramt i venstre vinge, der brød i brand. Pilot, 2nd. Lt. Billy L. Huffman gav ordre til at forlade flyet, der på det tidspunkt befandt sig over Storebælt (her).
Ni faldskærme blev observeret - " (FT 88-35-20)

Co-Pilot, 2nd Lt George E. Tomlinson blev fundet ved Hyllekrog (omkring her) den 28. maj 1944. Han blev begravet på Svinø Kirkegård den 30. maj 1944. (Kilde: FAF)
I 1948 blev han og andre Amerikanske flyvere fra Svinø 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. Se Monument for 46 amerikanske flyvere.

B17 42-37951 crashed at Haldagerlille here on 20 February 1944 (at close range here - Source: Henning Madsen).

"296 B-17s attacked aircraft factories in the area near Tutow (here) and a few units bombed Rostock (here). 6 planes were lost due to Ju88 attacks over Fyn (here)
on the outward flight. The left wing of 42-37951 was hit and caught fire. Pilot, 2nd. Lt. Billy L. Huffman gave the order to abandon the plane, which at that time was

Co-Pilot, 2nd Lt George E. Tomlinson was found at Hyllekrog (about here) on 28 May 1944. He was buried in Svinø Churchyard on 30 May 1944. (Source: FAF)
In 1948 he and other American airmen from Svinø were taken to Ardennes American Cemetery in BELGIUM. (Source: FAF) His name is not in the ABMC records,
so most likely he was buried in a private cemetery in the U.S.A. See Monument to 46 American airmen.
