Sharon Belle B-17F 42-30408 exploded near Astwell Castle, Nov 30, 1943, mission was planned for Solingen, scrubbed because of weather. Cause of explosion never determined, all crew lost, no remains. This would have been Charles' 25th mission had the mission completed, and he would have been "finished out" from flying combat missions, in the lingo recorded in pilots' logs,
He has a memorial stone at Tennessee-Georgia Cemetery 22844486. Also there is a plaque at Helmdon Air Base, England.
Acc to Randy Watkins, who worked at Jefferson Barracks:
Some remains were recovered at the time of the accident and those remains could not be positively identified, therefore, they were assumed to be the remains of Brannan, Glaspell, Munro, Pugh or Slayton. That is why those five names are on the headstone.
