After it had crash-landed, my Dad and the Co-Pilot were
trapped, and had to be cut out with a torch.

Info Contributor - Tom Berry
I am a friend of Bruce Florea (Co-Pilot) in mid to late 1944, and I worked for him on his farm
in Missouri. I believe the plane was hit over Cologne, with the crew
bailing out over France, sometime late in 1944 on their 11th mission.
