S Sisters Pilot Captain May,
i rum ruers to rignr vazs
An Eighth: Air Force Bomber
Base,1 England It the luftwatte
ugmer pilots counted on having a
field day knocking down U. S.
heavy bombers when they sudden
ly reappeared in the skies over
Europe recently, they failed to
take into consideration men like
Captain Sterling J. May, the offi
cer in charge of gunnery instruc
tion here with the 379th bomb
group, commanded by Lieutenant
Colonel Lewis E. Lyle, of Pine
Bluff, Arkansas.
Captain May, a veteran of more
than 30 daylight bombing assaults
over nazi Europe, and other men
engaged in gunnery training at
this veteran Flying Fortress base,
were never deceived when the U.
Si heavy bombers went out time
and time apain: rpvppaI mnniho
yt'ago and met almost no opposition
PJY from the luftwaffe. They knew
tnat tne uerman air force was not
beaten entirely; that it was mere
ly lying low, conserving its rapid
ly dwindling strength and waiting
in hopes that the gunners would
become careless and a surprise at
tack would catch them with their
guard down. That time never
came; Suspecting a ruse, the gun
nery instructors redoubled their
efforts and had the combat men,
some of whom had never seen an
enemy fighter, on their toes when
the surprise attacks were launch
ed. Even when enemy fighter oppo
sition fell of entirely, there was no
let up in the exhaustive training
program mac Drought victory to
the U. S. gunners every time they
met the luftwaffe during the past
the greatest air battles in the an
nals of human, warfare. Day in
and day out, Captain May and the
instructors under him took the
gunners through the training rou
tine skeet shooting on the range,
firing at targets towed by other
aircraft, fighting off simulated at
tacks by our own fighters, which
used the latest enemy tactics to
enable our gunners to get used to
training their sights on targets
moving with meteoric speed. In
addition the combat men received
thorough instructions in the care
and maintenance of their weapons
and in aircraft recognition.
This rigid trainins; schedule
paid the gunners good dividends.
When the enemy's surprise at
tacks finaly came, the gunners
were more than ready. The mass
ed firing power of the tightly
packed formations and the dead
ly accuracy of the gunners again
proved too .much for the luft
waffe.
The efforts of men like Captain
May received official recognition
recently when the entire 1st
Bombardment division, command
ed by Major General Robert S.
Williams, received a presidential
citation for carrying out the suc
cessful attack on the enemy air
craft factories at Oschersleben,
Germany, against some of the
heaviest fighter opposition ever
encountered. Gunnery training
spoke for itself that day January
11,. 1944-when 210 nazi fighters,
the largest number ever claimed
by any division for a single mis
sion, were knocked out of the sky
for a loss' of only 42 bombers.
two years a period that produced Forty-three other enemy fighters
were probably destroyed and 84
were damaged.
Captain May, son of Mr. and
Mrs. V. H. May, of Sisters, Ore
gon, enlisted in the sic forces in
April, 1942. He went through gun
nery school at Las Vegas, Nevada,
and received further training .at
various air bases in the U. S. be
fore coming overseas in October,
1942 with one of the pioneer Fly
ing Fortress groups. As a staff
sergeant tail gunner he went
through some of the Eighth Air
Force's greatest bombing attacks
before he was removed from com
bat duty and assigned to gunnery
training where his combat experi
ence made him particularly valu
able. In September, 7943, he was com
missioned a second lieutenant by
the commanding general of the
European theater of operations.
During his combat career, Cap
tain May was awarded the distin
guished flying cross and the air
medal with eight oak leaf clus
ters. He acscounted for three ene
my fighters and two probably de
stroyed. A graduate of the Roosevelt
high school, in Minneapolis, Min
nesota, Capt. May was employed
in the lumber mill of the Tite
Knot Pine company, in Redmond,
Oregon, prior to entering the serv
ice. His wife, Mrs. Alma May, re
sides in Bend, Oregon.
