Aircraft Letter:
Aircraft Name: SCRAPPY II
Location: Crew of 9 KIA
Cause:Exploded over target
Sgt. Malone lost his life in the Ploesti raid "Operation Tidal Wave" August 1st 1943. One of the most daring raids of WW2. Coming in at tree top level the 44th BG destroy Romanian oil refineries. Malone was awarded the Distinguished flying cross for his valor.
SCRAPPY II was the fourth 66th BS aircraft lost on this mission. It was piloted by Thomas E. Scrivner. K for King, commanded by Robert E. Miller, led the fourth wave into the dark and fiery target. On his wings were the aircraft of Lasco, as detailed above, and that of 1st Lt. Scrivner. But when Miller emerged from the target, neither of his wingmen were there. Several crews reported seeing SCRAPPY II, along with two others, caught in a terrific explosion as they were approaching their target, and then not seeing any of the three ships later. Thomas E. Scrivner's ship came out in flames with the pilots fighting for a crash landing. They sledded into a wheat field, but before the slide was spent, the ship exploded into a hundred foot sphere of flame. None of the men that the pilots had so valiantly struggled to save managed to come out of it alive.
Lt. Scrivner was buried Ardennes American Cemetery and Memorial Liège, Belgium.
The location of Lt. Young's remains are currently unknown, probably returned to a US cemetery.
7 Crewmen of SCRAPPY II were recovered and reintered to this mass grave in Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery
