Grandcamp, Normandy, France | 24 June 1944 | Flying with the 506th on the 22nd, Lieut. Charles E. Labno suddenly called that his engine was quitting and he was bailing out. But he never got out. His plane dove straight into the ground near Grandcamp on Omaha Beach; sad news announcing his death was swiftly forwarded to the Group by ground units in the vicinity. He was on his 9th combat mission. |
