I bought this little lot this weakend. So I went on line to see if I could find any info on Sgt. Clark. After a short search I did find Sgt. Clark. He was in the 452nd BG 728th BS 8th AF. His plane was #42-102662 MACR 6239 MIA on 06-21-44.
From J.A. Hey( Twelve min. after bombing,when making a right turn, This B17 was caught in a prop wash and B17G 42-31359 (piloted by 2nd LT. Lerum) tail of which already was damaged by flake ran into the #662 and chewed up the tail. The aircraft #359 blewup, the aircraft #662 went down in a tight spiral.Apparently the tail assembly seperated during descent. It was found 9 km south of Zechliner Hutte (cabin) in the Rheinsberger Heath. The fuselage crashed near Zechliner Hutte, forest area 4B, District Ostpringnitz,27 km E of Wittstock, Germany. The Germans reported 5 burned bodies found in the wreckage. Buried in 1 large single case. Buried in the Communal Cemetery of Beerenbusch.
1 report stated all KIA another report stated that the tail gunner S/Sgt Edward Koster was a POW. T/Sgt John J. Clark was the Radioman . The lot will now stay together with his history. Gary

Very Nice condition Original WW2 German Glass Mine. It is complete with metal plate, hebelzunder "boars head" fuse, and the thin glass shear plate. No damage at all to the bottom dish, and just a couple small chips on the thick glass pressure plate. The is much of the original tan ordnance paint remaining on the fuse and metal plate. This is Very rare to find in this condition. Please email me for more pics, and if you have questions. Shipping will be actual cost to your location.
A couple of Canadian issue 9mm blanks.
