Object Number - UPL 14471 - Memorial on North Tuddenham Common. B24 42-99979, Kentucky Baby, crashed near here on the morning of 21 April 1944
The crew was forming up for the mission to Zwickau. For reasons unknown (but perhaps related to the severe weather and icing conditions), the left wing broke off at the outer panel during assembly. Around 1417 hours, the plane crashed at North Tuddenham, near East Dereham, Norfolk, England. Two crewmembers bailed out successfully but eight perished in this accident. S/Sgt Norrell was one of those killed. (b24.net)
