Hansa Bay was a rough target for the 5th...

B-25 41-30345 28 August 43' Hansa Bay 8th Sqdn 3rd Attack Group

On board:

WIDENER, 1/Lt Robert B. Pilot
LAZARUS, 2/Lt. Bernard Co-Pilot
LEFLER, Sgt. James W. Gunner
MONAHAN, Sgt. Francis M. Gunner

What took the wing off that B-25?

Did it strike the ship's mast or was it the bomb blast?

[Hemiman]

Bomb blasts from another B-25's pass . Widener had just resumed flying after having been shot down on a photo recon mission in July.

Thanks.

That sequence is horrific. Poor guys.
