Broken Destiny –American Hero Pilots – A Full List

Dr. Alexandru Cristian

Avioane americane în Al Doilea Război Mondial

The way of the land, so often trampled by enemy nations, has taught the population of Romania time and again that all men are equal in the face of death. This is why respect for those who gave their lives on the battlefield has an old and steadfast tradition among the Romanian people. War always claimed what was duly owed, from belligerents on both sides of the frontline. Military operations carried out during the great world wars that bloodied the history of mankind in the 20th-century killed soldiers from Europe, America, Africa and Asia on Romanian territory. Once the sound of gunfire eventually stopped, Romanian authorities were concerned with identifying all the soldiers, Romanian or foreign, who died on national territory. After the World War I, the authorities of the time (the Heroes’ Cult Society, the Ministry of National Defense, the Orthodox Church, local administrations, etc.) carried out extensive research in specially arranged military or civilian cemeteries, with a view to identifying the Romanian, French, German, Russian, Hungarian, Turkish, Bulgarian, Serbian, Indian, Algerian, Austrian, Slovak, etc. soldiers who died in the battles on Romanian territory, with a view to identifying them and giving them a proper burial. Romanian state authorities showed a willingness to cooperate with counterpart organizations from other countries, providing them with support in the repatriation of a very large number of earthly remains belonging to foreign soldiers who were killed in Romania. A similar concern was shown by Romanian authorities towards Soviet, American, British, Hungarian, etc. soldiers who died on Romanian soil in World War II. Romania’s entry into the Soviet sphere of influence and the establishment of a communist political regime in Bucharest led to the complete upheaval of Romanian society through an excessive ideological indoctrination of the entire political, social, spiritual, economic life. This reversal of values ​​and normality affected even the commemoration of those who lost their lives in the line of duty. Romanian and foreign soldiers who fell on the battlefield were classified, according to all-encompassing ideological criteria, heroes or enemies. The care for their remains and the glorification of their military exploits served as a fundamental criterion for establishing whether or not they fought against the Soviet Union. During the Cold War, former allies became enemies, including former comrades-in-arms who fell on the front. As a result, at a certain stage in Romanian historiography, the issue was banned from ever being addressed. Some specialists did not consider the topic a priority.

It’s also worth highlighting the difficult process of obtaining information, as the sources researchers were able to access were far from sufficient. Another factor that made the search and identification of those who fell during air battles difficult was the very nature of air battles – a significant part of the airmen were simply blown up to smithereens or suffered burns to the point that identification was hardly possible. Hence a series of impediments that have made the topic even more difficult to approach, at least until now. Although the topic is recognized as difficult to approach, some researchers have nevertheless displayed a concern to shed light on the destiny of foreign soldiers who died in Romania during World War II, especially among German, American, Canadian and British troops.

The Tidal Wave bombing operation on oil refineries in Ploiești was described by American General N. F. Twining, commander of the 15th American Air Force division, as one of the greatest battles of World War II. In the 1,487 clashes with Romanian and German air forces, as well as after the response of Romanian anti-aircraft artillery, the United States Air Forces lost 233 bombers and 38 fighters, whereas the British Royal Air Forces lost 36 aircraft [according to American sources]. Human casualties among American and British troops amounted to over 2,200 people (dead, wounded and missing). Of these, approximately 1,160 American and British prisoners, who were in Romania on August 23, 1944, were released and repatriated by Romanian authorities.

There are no exact figures regarding the American airmen who died in air battles carried out over 1942 -1944 in Romanian airspace, as to my knowledge no such research has been conducted so far. Such an approach has, in my view, a twofold purpose: scientific and human. In historiographic terms, it is designed to highlight the military, human and material operations carried out by Allied air forces targeting Romania’s oil industry. In human terms, it is meant to help identify those who have passed away in order to honor their sacrifice and commit them to everlasting memory. Aside from American pilots, British and Canadian pilots were also involved in the air raids against Romania. The task of compiling a full list of pilots from the American and British air forces, who were either killed or went missing in Romania, remains a difficult one to date. The information collected at the International Symposium of April 1944 – Prahova Oil and the Belligerent Logistics, which was hosted by Ploieşti over April 5-7, 1994, was of great help in this regard. On the sidelines of this scholarly event, those who were once adversaries met for the first time in 50 years. The symposium allowed for conducting a relevant analysis of the role played by Romanian oil in the developments of World War II, as well as the commemoration of soldiers who were killed in action.

Our Christian prayers go out to all who made the ultimate sacrifice.

May they rest in peace!

In the following section I tried to rebuild a record of American pilots who were killed on Romania’s national territory. My research was limited by the number of archives available at the time this list was compiled, and I am confident the topic remains open to further research.
