SSgt. Donald Sherman
US Army Air Corps 527th Bomb Squadron 379th Bomb Group
from:Aurora, Illinois
My uncle, Staff Sgt Donald Sherman, was a turret gunner. The mission they were shot down on was to bomb a ball bearing factory at Schweinfurt, Germany. This day became known as "Black Thursday". I have been told the plane they were in was called "Piccadilly Willy". If any of the other men on this plane could help me with any photos or information I would be eternally great full. I have been told he was shot in the back trying to escape while on the death march close to the end of the war.
