Time: 1845:
Position 28 Deg. 36 N 142 Deg 07 E:
Aircraft lost to: Anti Aircraft fire:
Battle Casualty:
Witness: Hornor, Carroll G. 1st Lt:
serial number 0793110:
Date of report 28 Jan 1945 Lt Honor's statement:
The plane suffered damage while over the target and was escorted by Lt. Honor as far as place of ditching, while returning to home base. Lack of fuel is also believed to have cause of ditching. Lt Hornor circled the ditching area so that an accurate fix could be taken on position of the plane. Due to dusk the number of members who got out of the plane could not be determined accurately but many flashlights were observed blinking at Lt. Hornor's plane. The ditched B-29 seemed to be intact and still floating. Lt. Hornor's crew dropped many items of equipment overboard to the crew in distress. A search is being conducted.:
Signature of preparing officer: Robert W. Clowes, Capt, Army Air Corp
Nothing was found by air sea rescue:
All 11 crew member's were declared MIA and are listed on the wall of the missing
Officially declared dead in 1946 like on FAG:
Pow/Mia Group B Unrecoverable: states his death as 27 Jan 1945
The Stud must gotten hit pretty hard, since Hornor was the witness it means they couldn't keep up with the rest of the flight so we can assume that they had lost at least one engine and since fuel was believed to be a second reason and not a stated reason the radio had been damaged. Capt. Peterson would have notified Lt. Hornor of the shortage of fuel
