WOUNDED WARRIOR
With its inner port engine shot out and smoking badly, B-17G Silver Meteor from the 390th Bomb Group had slowly dropped out of the bomber stream, seemingly easy prey for the Luftwaffe fighters who closed for the kill. But before they could do so, the P-51's of Bud Anderson and 'Kit' Carson of the 357th Fighter Group moved in and soon the attackers were driven off. With the two legendary Aces escorting them home to Framlington, the stricken bomber begins its descent and pilot Harry Seip and the crew of Silver Meteor would live to fight another day, July 1944.
