Round trip C-47

Round trip C-47  Captain Lloyd Neblett of the 301st TCS, 441st TCG, flew his plane "Round Trip" (pictured below) to Drop Zone 'D' on 6 June, 1944; his passengers were from the 501 PIR. While over the DZ, an equipment bundle from another C-47 which was flying above Neblett's plane, landed on his right wing. He battled the controls to keep the plane from stalling as his stick of paratroopers jumped out. The plane then went out of control at 600 feet altitude, falling through a flak barrage and losing 8 feet of the right wing and 3 feet of the aileron. With aid from his co-pilot, Captain Neblett brought the plane under control with wheel and trim tabs less than 100 feet above the ground.

And I thought of fallen comrades I had known so long ago. They came from every city Across this fertile land. That we might live in freedom. They lie here 'neath the sand." - C.W.

Well done people,its good to see agents pulling together like this. Originally shared by Snake Plissken Alaska Resistance and EnlightenedAK teamed up to participate in the dual faction operation, Links Across America.  Teams were dispatched in Fairbanks, Anchorage, and Ketchikan to clear the path for these two links to make their journey across the tundra, moose, and salmon to Ketchikan, where they await the incoming links from the Pacific Northwest.   This was a great event to show honor to our #Veterans  for #memorialday  Thank you to all who serve, or have served, and to all those who never came home.  I know this isn't much, but let it be known that today a handful of gamers at the top of the world were thinking of you. #linksacrossamerica   #ingress   #ingressalaska   #enlightenedak   #enlightened   #alaskaresistance   #resistance  Ryan Cubillas Mike McCabe Justin Presler Matthew Ames Matthew Sill EF Presler Charlie Presler Newly McCoin Major Skeeter Alexander Harvey Chris ...
