babby is formed

This is the formation and unformation of babby.

On April 24, 1944, a B-17G from the 407th BS, 92nd BG, piloted by 1st Lt. William "Woody" Parramore, landed at Altenrhein airfield in Switzerland. The plane had been attacked by German fighters about half an hour before their target, the Dornier aircraft factory at Oberpfaffenhofen, near Munich. The crew was able to continue their mission, with their engineer/top turret gunner, T/Sgt. Roy Hommer, very badly wounded. Upon completing the bomb run, a propellor ran out of control, and a second engine lost oil pressure. Parramore decided to try for nearby Altenrhein rather than land in Germany. Bailing out was not an option because of the seriously wounded crewman. The entire crew survived the landing, with Hommer going to a hospital because of his severe wounds. Parramore later wrote a narrative poem about this mission.


'Baby' landing in Switzerland

After an initial quarantine period in Chaumont, the crew was sent to Adelboden to be interned. The officers were eventually separated from the enlisted men and sent to Davos. Under strict orders (from American military attaché Brigadier General Barnwell Legge) not to attempt escape from their internee status under penalty of courts martial, and watched carefully by the Swiss police, the American internees' time in Switzerland was spent playing cards, exploring new bars, playing chess, meeting the local young women, and plotting escapes. Six members of "Baby's" crew eventually escaped, including Hommer! Radioman T/Sgt. Carl D. Stetson attempted escape three times, and was successful the third time. Internees caught while attempting escape were sent to the infamous Wauwilermoos punishment camp for criminals. Swiss civilians found trying to help Americans escape would be imprisoned, then exiled.

The plane was named "Baby" after bombardier 2nd Lt. John Garcia's child born while the crew was in England. The crew was from the 407th Bomb Squadron, 92nd Bomb Group - part of "The Mighty Eighth" - based at Podington. Parramore flew on 21 missions, the first as co-pilot on another plane, and the last 20 with his own crew. The traditional first mission as a co-pilot was the standard qualifier to lead your own crew over Nazi controlled Europe. Navigator 2nd Lt. John Steichen also flew as the navigator on an additional two missions with other crews, thereby gaining the distinction of the most missions (22) of all the crew.
