42-51090 HEY MOE aka LOIS M (725th #40)
Departed the USA on May 1, 1944. Assigned to the 451st in July.
She flew 67 missions in 69 days. For this her Crew Chief, Gaylord
Ault, was awarded the Bronze Star. She sustained flak damage to
the left wing, which was repaired. On November 13th, returning
from a "PX" flight to Bari, the pilot made a "hard" landing. On
November 14, 1944, a new crew took her up for gunnery practice
before flying their first combat mission. Just after take off the left
wing buckled between #1 and #2 engines. HEY MOE crashed in a
field, killing all 11 men on board. Records reveal that there were
288 hours and 50 minutes of flight time after the wing was repaired.
It is believed that the hard landing may have caused the wing to
become weakened, thus the subsequent failure.
