Bill was a waist gunner on B-17G 42-102475. During a mission over Germany on 27th of May 1944, B-17 41-102561 collided with his aircraft. Bill's B-17 broke in half at the radio room. Three members of his crew were able to deploy their parachutes. These three were captured and Bill was sent to Stalag Luft IV.
