USAAF WW2 Ploesti Raider
Radio Op. S/Sgt. Channing N. Satterfield DFC KIA
Hometown: Detroit Michigan
Squadron: 66th BS 44th Bomb Group
Service #20631208
Awards: Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal, Purple Heart
Pilot Thomas E. Scrivner DFC KIA
Target: Ploesti "White Five"
Mission Date:1- Aug-1943
Serial Number:42-40375
Aircraft Model B-24D
Aircraft Letter:K
Aircraft Name: SCRAPPY II
Location: lost over the target
Crew of 9 KIA
The fourth 66th aircraft lost was that 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 this plane, 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
St. Louis County Missouri
