Concentrated attacks continued on enemy airfields located within fighter range of the 

invasion area. One aircraft returned early when the pilot reported high oil 

temperature on the No. 2 engine – #42-38154 (No Name), 358BS (Lt. Davis).

Aircraft #42-107048 (No Name), 360BS, piloted by 1Lt. Roy Eisele, flying in the No. 

2 position, high element, high Group, was hit by flak between the No. 2 engine and 

fuselage, approximately one minute before "bombs away." Another burst hit directly in the 

bomb bay and the entire B-17 burst into flames, nosed down sharply, broke in half near the 

bomb bay door and lost its left wing. Crewmen in other aircraft spotted it until 

Mission 178 - 1

approximately 1,000 feet altitude near Cambrai, 

France. No parachutes were seen. Lt. Eisele, 2Lt.

S/Sgt. Edward J. Vallee was captured and taken prisoner. 

Thirty-four Group aircraft bombed from 21,900, 21,800 and 22,500 feet, with 

unlimited visibility and only a few scattered clouds. The lead Group dropped 198 250-lb. 

G.P. M57 bombs about 1,500 feet AP. Most went into the fields. The high Group dropped 

418 100-lb. fragmentation AN M41 bombs that hit the dispersal areas with possible 

damage to five revetments. The low Group dropped 456 100-lb. G.P. M30 bombs. While 

checking the bombsight synchronization, Lt. Col. Lyle, flying his second mission as a 

bombardier, noted that his bombs fell about five miles short of the target with premature 

release. 

REST & RECREATION TRIPS TO LONDON 

from the Journal of Stanley Claster 

From June 9-12 the Arnold crew had their first of several breaks from combat 

missions long enough to make a trip to London. Like other crews, the team would receive 

three-day passes that would allow for two nights in the city. The trip from Molesworth to 

London took only about two hours by train. Everyone wanted to stay on low floors of solid 

hotels because of the German V-1 flying bomb attacks that were regularly destroying 

portions of the city. Hotel receipts indicate Stanley Claster favored the mammoth 

Cumberland Hotel near Marble Arch where he stayed three times. During the June 18-19 

visit, Claster stayed at the Park Lane Hotel located in Piccadilly. The officers shared 

rooms among themselves as did the enlisted men. Military regulations prohibited officers 

and enlisted men from sharing the same quarters, even on leave. Claster and Pilot William 

Arnold roomed together at the Cumberland on August 5 and 6, just after the crew 

completed their last mission. John Surrell and Ralph Lichtenwalter stayed at Hamilton 

House several times until their last visit when it had been destroyed by German bombs. 

The crew members saw the sights, went shopping, and enjoyed the social life of 

wartime London, including dates with local girls. Stanley Claster described one busy visit 

in a July 13 letter to his parents: "I arrived in town around noon after getting a room at one 

of the better hotels and buying some stuff at the Officers PX. I met my friend [girl-friend] 

later in the afternoon. We went to several of the better bars in town and then to a very 

nice place for dinner. The place we went had music and dancing also, and it's about the 

best place I've seen around town. As my friend lives out in the suburbs, we had to leave 

around 10 to make her train. The next day I went uptown early and got a haircut and a 

new hat. Then I met my friend for lunch. After lunch I went to a movie which I enjoyed very 

much because Jimmy Durante was in it. After the movie, I met my friend again and went 

out again, notably to the Savoy and Dorchester bars. All in all had a swell time and 

enjoyed it very much."
