DEATH OVER STANSTED
It was the 8th March 1944. A mission returning from France, two planes
collided on final approach in bad weather, with fast moving, low hanging scud racing over the airfield. Both planes were from the 494th squadron and all 12 men were killed that day. Lest we forget. 1`st. Lt. John Eckert, pilot 2nd Lt. Thomas W Worrell 1st. Lt. George E. Bair S/Sgt. Alfred E. Border S/Sgt. Lewis C. Thompson S/sgt. Edward E. Powell Capt. Jack Miller, pilot 2nd. Lt. Linwood C. Brooks 1st Lt. James A. Hudson S/Sgt. Abraham B. Butler Jr. S/Sgt George G.McMannany S/Sgt. William J. Summers They came to a country that wasn't theirs, to fight for a people they never knew. Let all those that knew and flew with these men never forget them. Sleep well old friends.
