Bob Ruegg (later Lt General) was one of 25 members of the 27th Bomb Group who were evacuated from the Philippines along with seven pilots of the 24th Pursuit Group on board flying boat A18-10 "Centaurus" of 11 Squadron RAAF. The aircraft was piloted by Squadron Leader Norm Fader and co-piloted by Squadron Leader Mike Seymour. They had departed Darwin on 23 December 1941 in RAAF short Empire flying boat which travelled to Brisbane via Groote Eylant, Townsville, Rockhampton, arriving at the Hamilton Reach of the Brisbane River on 24 December 1941.
.	.	.	Douglas A-24-DE Dauntless	.	.	.	27BG	3AF	.	The A24 aircraft selected for transport to the Philippines had just completed War Game manoeuvres at Savannah AAB, GA. USA and were not cleaned or serviced prior to disassembly. (All were ex stateside 3rdBG shipped planes) Control cables and various items were not secured, sealed or locked down. This caused a fair amount of damage, both to these cables, instruments and various components by way of chaffing, corrosion, chinking and breakage. A high percentage of the engines were in need of overhaul. Materially deficient would be a fair description on their arrival.

Originally they were re-designated as the 1st. Pursuit Sqdn. (night fighter), to be equipped with Douglas Havocs (Turbinlite) which had 2,700 million candle-power searchlights in the nose for illuminating German night bombers; they would then be shot down by night fighter Hurricanes. This was not very successful so they reverted to the 15th BS (L); they moved to Molesworth on June 9th but flew their first mission in British Bostons from the RAF station at Swanton Morley in Norfolk. ( July 4th.). This was to 2 Luftwaffe airfields in Holland. The photo ( from IMPACT Magazine for April 1943) was taken over Bergen-Alkmaar airfield, no.

They flew one more mission in RAF Bostons before getting their own which were re-marked with US stars; they flew 3 more in these before standing down in Oct. for transfer to Twelfth AF. in Nov. At the time they were stationed at Podington. The low-level raids on Holland were a foretaste of what to expect from German airfield defences later.

An A-20A Havoc, #40-3154, of the 89th Bomb Squadron, 3rd Bomb Group, crashed into Moreton Bay, near Brisbane on 5 July 1942. 1st Lieutenant Richard "Dick" Birnn was on a test flight in the A-20A Havoc, when it cart wheeled into the waters of Moreton Bay. Dick Birnn was killed in this tragic accident. The 89th Squadron was the first to be equipped with the A-20's which had been shipped from the United States in crates. They were then assembled in Brisbane and test flown before being flown to Charters Towers. The following is an extract from the 90th Combat Log which would seem to suggest he was with the 90th Squadron rather than the 89th Squadron:- On July 5th Lt. Richard R. Birnn in Brisbane on official relief from combat zone, was testing an A-20a and from unknown causes crashed to his death. He had flown some 14 combat missions, been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Silver Star and had flown 140 combat hours without injury to his crew. His loss was deeply felt by the squadron and the group

An incident which took place on the evening of September 13 was considered by some of them to be an example of the botched nature of the operation. The 97th Sq. 82FG, was flying its final patrol mission of the day, first in the "Pears" area, then over "Peaches." (All three of the group's patrol areas were named after fruits: "Pears" was over Pisciotta, "Peaches" over Agropoli and "Apples" over Salerno itself.). Around 7 o'clock, the controller informed the P- 38 pilots of the presence of some "bogies" (unidentified aircraft) - possibly "bandits" (enemy aircraft) - on the deck, and he provided them with the map grids. They dove from 11,000 feet down to less than 3,000 feet and opened fire on the four "bandits." The squadron leader, Capt. Smith, immediately stopped, however, and ordered the others to do the same. The "bandits" were actually a flight of American A-36s (dive-bomber version of the Allison-engined P-51A Mustang). FIO Verle Tilley had already hit one squarely, however, and it burst into flames. Fortunately, its pilot managed to bailout and was rescued by American soldiers. The A-36s, which were attacking German positions, had been misidentified by the controller as Me 109s supposedly strafing American troops! Location, 2 Mi. N E Sassano, Point Of Departure, S. Antonio.

Harris, Jesse A Jr.	O-	522FS	27FBG	12AF	MIA	April _ May 1944, One of our pilots learned the hard lesson of why you bail out of a P-40 (or other single engine, piston powered airplane) on the right side. The prop corkscrews the air behind it in a way that if you bail out to the left, it supports you so the tail can hit you. If you bail out on the right it throws you down out of the way. I am not sure of the name, maybe it will come to me later but I think his first name was Jesse. (I finally remembered, Jesse Harris.) He was hit while strafing a truck and had to get out of his plane right NOW! Unfortunately he went out the left side and his back was broken by hitting the tail. The first thing he knew, he was lying on the ground surrounded by angry Germans. He was put in a hospital. When the Germans retreated he was left behind with a skeleton staff as he could not be moved. He made it and probably lived a good life afterward.

Truman Forbis: On the morning of 11 November 1943, at approx. 0820 hours, while flying on Lt. Price, Albert S. Jr's wing on a ground strafing mission, I noticed coolant or white smoke pouring from the right side of his engine. We were in the vicinity of Isola di Liri, Italy and he had apparently been hit by small arms fire. He peeled up into the sun and I momentarily lost sight of him. When I next sighted him he had gained about 4000 feet and his engine was still pouring white smoke. He bailed out and I saw his parachute open. The plane crashed into the mountain. Engine V-1710-87 serial 42-176063 (He returned during May 44 (My grandfather saved him in the mountains in Italy), see Charlie Dills story of the 27 th FBG , My research about this pilot ended when I found the grave in the Golden gate Cemetery of San FRANCISCO, He died in a fatal spin in Texas with a T6D plane 42-86476 on 26 August 1948.

.	24 May 44	.	.	Tanassy, Emil	.	HQ	27FG	12AF	.	Crash landed at Anzio. The Major got a 20 mm(?) shell in his engine. The engine didn't stop but there was oil all over the place. He couldn't see because there was oil on his goggles. I went up on his wing and talked to him to keep him straight and level while he cleaned off the oil so he could see. He jettisoned the canopy and we headed for the Anzio beachead and the emergency strip. He went in and belly landed. He landed long and if he had not touched down there he probably would have cleared the edge of a gully and hit the other side head on.!

If you will email me your postal address I will send you the only documentation I have on Lt Joyce. There is no Missing Air Crew Report as the crash was considered an accident. Actually there were two accidents a few days apart, both accident reports say that he survived but from the squadron history and the translated article we know he was killed in the 2nd accident that occurred on the 15 of July 1944. Air Force History Support Office Reference and Analysis Branch AFHSO/HOR This must be incorrect information on their part as this makes the 3rd crash for him

He told us a little about this experience. He said the women would come up from a village at sunset with whatever food and armament they had managed to acquire. One of the men came over to him, meaning to honor the American pilot, and said to him, "Zis woman, she will stay with you zis night!" He was red as a beet when he told us and would not elaborate further! This was his sixth mission and my 94th. Since he had been in contact with the Maquis he was sent home rather than take a chance that he might go down later, be captured and be forced to betray them. As a matter of fact we went back to the US on the same boat, several weeks later. Between us we averaged fifty missions! Charles Dills with 94 and Alfred Nelson with 6.
