42-31367 Chow-Hound

By early August of 1944 the allies were pushing south of the beach head in Normandy. The allied plan relied on heavy bombers to soften the German lines. These missions were often considered 'Milk-Runs' by the crews, as they were usually unchallenged by German fighters. For the mission of August 8, 1944 the 91st would send three squadrons of B-17s to hit German positions that were confronting the Canadian First Army south of Caen.

B17 42-31367 Chow-Hound had completed forty-eight missions with three crews. During this last mission disaster struck. The Chow-Hound was cut in half by a direct flak hit. The Chow-Hound was lost with all hands.

Due to the efforts of a French organisation ANSA, the location of the crash site was provided to the US department of defence in 2001, which performed an excavation of the site in 2004, recovering and repatriating the remains of three crew members who had been MIA for 60 years. A military funeral with full honors was held at Arlington Cemetery in 2006.

Brave the deadly skies of occupied Europe!
