1944 Burial: 1-11-1944 Greece.

John served as a First Lieutenant & Navigator on B-17F #42-29918, 342nd Bomber Squadron, 97th Bomber Group, U.S. Army Air Force during World War II.

He resided in Virginia prior to the war.

On January 11, 1944, bombers from the 15th Air Force based in Cerignola, Italy, were dispatched to strike harbor installations at Piraeus, Greece.

Approaching the target area, they encountered adverse weather and extreme wind and icing conditions.

John's B-17 & also B-17 #42-3251, with ice forming on their wings and due to cloud cover having lost their formation, decided to return to base. Instead of making a 180-degree right turn, away from the formations, the aircrafts made a turn to the left and flew head-on into the 301st Bomber Group formation which was also on the same mission.

John was "Killed In Action" when his B-17 collided with B-17F #42-31396 of the 301st Bomber Group near Agrambela, Greece during the war.

B-17 #42-3251, which had turned back with John's B-17, collided into B-17 #42-30357 which was also part of the 301st Bomber Group causing them both to also crash.

All four of the B-17's were lost in this crash.

John was awarded the Air Medal & Purple Heart.

He was originally interred overseas and was later repatriated here on January 13, 1950.

Service # O-793299

The reason he is named on a group headstone is because when soldiers were killed in close proximity to each other they were unable, at that time, to identify them separately and interred their remains together in one grave.
