Flew in B-17F "Miss Carry" and B-17G "I'll Get By".



He wrote a poem which is displayed at St Mary's, Horham:



There is no stone to mark the place

they flew and fought and died that day.



Nay! Nothing but smoke that

lowly drifts away.



Yet, there is a monument to those

valiant young men,



This the grateful thanks that lives in

the hearts of freedom loving men.
