Other Wounded in Combat |
Salzburg, Germany | 21 April 1945 | Wounded on the 21 April 1945 mission to Salzburg. A flak burst very near the aircraft shattered the top turret that he was manning throwing him to the floor of the aircraft while also detaching his oxygen and intercom. He came to the flight deck and announced the aircraft was on fire and then passed out from lack of oxygen. The aircraft was not, in fact, on fire, however Renshaw had sustained a serious head injury. The pilot, Edward Wygonik, landed the damaged aircraft in Liege, Belgium where Renshaw was immediately hospitalized and eventually sent back to the U.S. without returning to Attlebridge. |
