June Bug (B-17G 42-31516) and the 303rd Bomb Group's Hell's Angels II (B-17G 42-38041) Memorial
5 photos
In East Northamptonshire, in the Stanwick Lakes Nature Reserve & Country Park, stands a memorial monument dedicated to the June Bug (B-17G 42-31516) crew and the 303rd Bomb Group's Hell's Angels II (B-17G 42-38041). On February 22, 1944, the 384th Bomb Group launched 33 aircraft for a mission to Germany, but heavy cloud cover and winter storms forced 21 of them to abort over the UK. During the chaos of these poor conditions, two B-17s, June Bug and Hell's Angels II, collided mid-air at 7,000 feet near Stanwick. The collision sent both bombers crashing into the countryside, leaving only three survivors from the combined crews of twenty. The memorial was built in 2024 and funded by Stanwick Lakes. It was dedicated on the 80th anniversary of the crash. Photos courtesy of Keith Andrews

Reigate Hill Memorial
5 photos
On March 19, 1945, 2nd Lt. Robert Stanley Griffin and his crew were on board B-17G 43-39035 returning from a mission over Germany. They encountered heavy fog and poor weather conditions that obstructed their view. They crashed into Reigate Hill, and all nine crew members were killed in action. The crash site is now marked by a memorial featuring two sculptural wingtips containing molten metal from the wreckage, alongside a seat, plaque, and information board.

Münsingen Cemetery (formerly American Military Cemetery) Switzerland
3 photos
During World War II, the Münsingen Cemetery in Switzerland served as a temporary resting place for 60 American airmen and one civilian. It was then called the American Military Cemetery in Münsingen. Between 1944 and 1948, the site was maintained by 21 interned American servicemen before the remains were repatriated to the United States, with others moved to France. While the fallen are no longer there, a 1946 bronze plaque still honors their sacrifice at the site. The grounds were the original burial location for six men from the 384th Bomb Group: 2nd Lt. Everett Lee Bailey, 2nd Lt. Jesse Leon Greenebaum, Sgt. Frank Valentine Horetski, Sgt. Anthony Theodore Melazzi Jr., Sgt. Sidney John Pratt, Sgt. Richard Michael Sendlbeck
