Pulling away, he watched the aircraft burn and could see both gunners in their turrets but no return fire came.

All of the crew were killed : Flight Lieutenant Arthur Richards (Pilot) Flying Officer William Woodall (Navigator) Pilot Officer Athur Bugden (Flight Engineer) Sergeant Thomas Edwards (Wireless Operator) Flying Officer George Ferguso.........

Charlie Brown of the USAAF was flying his first mission as aircraft commander of B-17, "Ye Olde Pub" on a bombing raid over Bremen. The B-17's port wing was damaged by flak, necessitating an engine shutdown. The aircraft was aggressively attacked by Luftwaffe fighters that tore the B-17 to shreds, killing and wounding a number of her crew. As the aircraft limped toward the German coast, a single Messerschmitt Bf 109 piloted by Franz Stigler approached the crippled bomber and, seeing the incredible damage inflicted on it, made the decision not to attack, but to escort0 the B-17 across the English Channel. Part way, the Bf 109 banked away and Brown's aircraft was met by some P.47s that escorted Ye Olde Pub home. Stigler had risked everything in this act of compassion and his story remained a secret until the end of the war.
