BATTERED FORT IS SAVED BY HENRY ROSINE

Three Motors Damaged, He Flies It Home From Berlin

AN EIGHTH AAF BOMBER STATION, England, May 15 (Special) – With three engines damaged and three men wounded, a 20-year-old pilot, 1st Lt. Henry Rosine, of St. Joseph, Mich., brought his battered bomber all the way back from Berlin to a safe landing at his Eighth AAF bomber base in Britain.

The bombs had already fallen on the key transportation points in the heart of the Nazi capital, and the big B-17 was on the way back when angry bursts of flak filled the sky around the formation.

30 Holes In Ship

"That flak punched about 30 holes in our ship," said Pilot Rosine. "It smashed number four engine, so I had to feather the prop. Another piece knocked a hole in the number three engine while more of the same stuff hit the number two engine right alongside my cockpit, cutting an oil line. That engine smoked all the way home, and I had to treat it very gently."

Flak punctured the nose of the Fortress and injured the bombardier in his right arm and the navigator in both arms. The navigator’s wounds were painful, although not serious, and the bombardier gave him a shot of morphine.

Although his wounds pained him a lot, the navigator, a 24-year-old youth from Aberdeen, S. D., remained cheerful. "He didn’t complain once," said the co-pilot, F/O Richard P. Leaman, 21, of Lancaster, Pa., who helped give first aid to the two men in the smashed nose.

The radio operator was wounded by another burst which sent flying fragments slashing through the radio compartment. He was able to take care of himself. "Just fixed his own wounds," said co-pilot Leaman.

To add to the troubles, another burst of flak hit the hydraulic system near the pilot’s compartment and started a smoking, choking fire.

"And that’s where the engineer saved the day," related pilot Rosine, who added that the 30-year-old engineer and top turret gunner, T/Sgt. William F. Dear, of Enterprise, Minn., put out the fire, repairing shorted electrical circuits, and cleaned up the mess of hydraulic fluid sloshing around under the pilots’ feet.

"About that time, too, Dear had to transfer fuel from the auxiliary tanks to the main ones," said the pilot. "He had to knock off several times and climb back into the turret to look for enemy fighters. We would have been an easy mark for them in our crippled condition and with three men wounded, Dear was right on the ball every minute. He did a swell job."

Already out of formation, pilot Rosine dropped his battered bomber down to about 7,000 feet and cloud-hopped back across Germany to escape Nazi fighters.

"We had no brakes," the pilot added, "and we used up a little more than three-fourths of the runway coming in, but we made it. I still don’t know how those damaged engines stood up. But the did, and that’s what counts."

Two of the wounded men were rushed off to the base hospital and medical officers said their wounds were not serious. The third man returned to his barracks after first aid dressings were applied to his wounds.

The other uninjured members of the crew included: S/Sgt. Ramon C. Rodriguez, 19, of 930 South 8th Ave., Tucson, Ariz., ball turret gunner; S/Sgt. Benoit G. Mailloux, 21, of Dracut, Mass., right waist gunner; S/Sgt. Carl M. Coleman, 28, of Sausalito, Calif., the tail gunner, and S/Sgt Corbin Bland, 25, of Ada, Okla., the left waist whose oxygen system was shot out by the flak and who hovered on the brink of unconsciousness for a while, keeping himself from blacking-out almost by sheer will power, until he could get a new supply of oxygen.

Lt. Rosine gained his first flying experience at home, walking daily from his home in Scottdale, Mich., to the Benton Harbor, Mich., airport – a distance of about 10 miles – to take instruction.

I called and talked to his TTG/SGT Bill Dear and I asked how well he knew my uncle... he started crying (so did I) and said enlisted men only saw officers in the air... but he said he was the best pilot and that he would fly with him aywhere... (lumpie throat again LOL)... these men trusted each other with their lives - their own 'band of brothers" I suppose...

***PROUD***!

She would be honored Shades... she was a sweetheart with a deep raspy North Carolina accent... A real beautiful, glamorous lady.

My uncle originally flew Miami to Boston and they lived in Miami Beach back in the early 60's when it was something special. My uncle had a house once in Coral Gables but the neighbors looked down on him because he liked to do his own gardening... a no-no so they moved to Miami Beach...

I remember once how mad he got at 12 O' Click High (the TV show) for not portraying correctly what it was like to get shot up by a FW 190... the Book and Movie 12 O' Clock High was based on the Bloody Hundredth out of Thorpe Abbots.
