ship entering a spin and finally exploding. Gieger (Lt Hugh E. Gieger, Jr.) said he personally examined the dog tags and they had the appearance of being burned. Kramer (Lt Robert P. Kramer) was at the nose exit ready to jump, when he turned back for one last verification all crew members had
bailed out. This gallant action cost the popular Bob Kramer his life. |
