    Bomber Hero
Sees Campus
Lieutenant Justin G. Knowl
ton, navigator of the B-24 bomb
er whose personnel was declared
the “crew of the week” among
U. S. army air forces flying in
Nvf.' Guinea, visited the campus
recently.
Knowlton, who was a graduate
from the University in 1941, had
earlier received the distinguished
flying cross for “extraordinary
achievement while on flight mis
sion.”
Lieutenant Knowlton was navi
gator of a heavy bomber which,
on January, 1943, went out with
another plane on an armed re
connaissance mission over New
Guinea, in search of a missing
aircraft. An enemy convoy was
sighted, its position reported, and
the mission was continued.
The Enemy Attacks
While circling the area, Knowl
ton's aircraft was attacked by
enemy fighters, which made con
tinuous attacks on the bomber
for one hour and 45 minutes. The
running fight was continued at
a very low altitude until the ene
mj^jplanes were out of ammuni
tion. One engine in the bomber
was completely disabled and two
other engines were badly dam
aged. The rear turret, radio
equipment, and both ailerons
we- * shot away, while enemy fire
al^^amaged the interphone sys
tem and all fuel tanks. Four
members of the crew were wound
ed and later inspection disclosed
more than 400 bullet holes in the
aircraft.
The combat crew members de
stroyed four Zeros and badly
damaged three others during the
battle. The courage, determina
tion and ability displayed by
Lieutenant Knowlton was de
clared in keeping with the finest
.traditions of the service.
It wras later that Lieutenant
Knowlton’s bomber crew again
was mentioned in dispatches as
the “crew of the week” for hav
ing made a difficult reconnais
trip, and they then were
c$<g£..ed with having destroyed a
total of 12 enemy planes.
