It fell to Roane to witness his old crew going down at Paris September 3, 1943 - resulting in the death of five, King, Brykalski (who replaced Roane on the crew), McKnight, Harms, and Wise. In 1993 on the 50th anniversary of the mission, Roane told Paul West and Charles M. Beck it was then and remains one of the saddest days of his life.  Detailed Information     (100th Photo Archives)

3_34_4.jpg (27092 bytes) Edward H. Hovde - 351st - BOM - POW September 3, 1943. Hovde was severely wounded and was soon returned to by the Germans. His story is one of heroism and valor. He reported that he came to sitting on top of a piece of wing panel in the air - Reached to pull his ripcord and found the hand he used was missing - pulled the cord with the other hand and then observed one of his legs was gone. The temperature at his altitude likely hindered the loss of blood from his terrible wounds. Of interest is that Cowboy Roane. who witnessed the flak hit thought Hovde KIA until meeting him in 1985 at the 100th's Dayton, Ohio Reunion. They remained in touch until Hovde's death.. pw Richard C. King Crew   Detailed Information   (100th Photo Archives)
