Narrow Escapes

Detroit Bombardier Tells of
Three Brushes With Death
During Raids

Having returned to the States
after completing 30 flying mis-
sions without injury, Lt. Leonard
B. Stone, 22, is convinced that
there is some >« Y: .
protecting force
which accom-
panies our .air-
men in their
rides of. destruc-
tion. Lt. Stone
is a-Fortress
bombardier.
•He has h a d
some incredible
escapes from
Lt. Stone
death in raids
over Germany. Only once did he
wear a flak suit and it was the
only time that he was ever- struck
by flak.
Last Oct. 19, while in his plane,
"Daddy's Delight," with three of
the four motors blazing, the pilot
landed on an emergency field
near Amiens, France. The plane
had 257 flak and bullet holes.
Oxygen Supply Cut
Once when his Fortress was
flying- high the oxygen supply to
Lt. Stone's nose was severed by
flak. In a desperate effort to
avoid suffocation, he tore off the
top of a steel oxygen bottle. His
last feeble call for help over the
interphone brought .a crew . mem-
ber forward with oxygen just in
time to save Stone's life.
As they were flying over Mu-
nich one day, one of the four 1,000
pound bombs stuck in the bomb
bay. They were over the target
and the other three bombs
bounced against it on their way
out.
"The bomb had to be pried
loose, so I got the navigator to
hang onto my ankles and I
crawled out and loosened it with
a screwdriver. After I crawled
back, I almost fainted", related
Lt. Stone.
Lt. Stone, son of Mr. and Mrs,
David B. Stone, 3311 Chicago
Blvd., is a Central graduate and
had attended Wayne University
for two and one-half . years be-
fore his enlistment in January,
