Pilot 1/Lt Boyd L. Dout, MIA/KIA
Hometown: Homestead, OK
Squadron: 567th BS 389th Bomb Group
Service # O-670984
Awards: Air Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, Purple Heart
Target:Frankfurt, Germany
Missing Air Crew Report Details
USAAF MACR#: 2245
Date Lost: 29-Jan-44
Serial Number: 42-72833
Aircraft Model B-24D-160-CO
Aircraft Letter: Y-
Aircraft Name: LOS ANGELES CITY LIMITS
Location: Ditched in English Channel
Cause: AA damage, unable to reach England. 10 KIA.
389th BG loses two aircraft on this day.
My name is Gregg Gilow, son of Norman Gilow. My father was the original copilot in the Boyd Dout crew. He was on another assignment & did not go on that crew's last mission. Clyde Peters took his place that day.
I wanted to mention that the name of the Dout aircraft was not "Los Angeles City Limits"...it was "Torney". "Los Angeles City Limits" was lost on January 7, 1944 with the pilot Earl Cooper. (MACR 1854)
Don't know if that correction can be made or not for Boyd & his crew that day. Found the graves site for 389th personnel...great job - must be a lot of work to keep up!
