I will introduce the purposes for the alteration and records of the sixth Bomb Squadron 29th Bomb Group 314th Wing during World War II. At long last, I will talk about the alterations that came about because of these demonstrations of brutality. A few countries neglected to comply with the Geneva Convention during World War II. Therefore, the show met for the fourth an ideal opportunity to reclassify and set up the principles to secure future veterans. (Simpkin) There were 130,000 POWs caught during World War II.

A meeting by an Army specialist with pilot Marvin S. Watkins uncovered the accompanying occasions that happened following a bombarding run in Japan. On May 5, 1945, the sixth Bomb Squadron 29th Bomb Group 314th Wing had recently finished a bombarding run on Tachairai air station and was coming back to our base in Guam. The accompanying team individuals were locally available: William R. Fredericks, Co-Pilot; Howard T. Shingledecker, Bombardier; Charles Kearns, Navigator; Dale Plambeck, Radar Navigator; Teddy Poncezki, Engineer; John Colehower, Gunner; Cpl. Johnson, Gunner; Cpl. Oeinck, Gunner; Cpl. Czarnecki, Gunner; Robert Williams, Radio Operator; and myself as pilot. At 0800, we were ten to twenty miles from the objective when a twin-motor adversary contender assaulted us over the island of Kyushu. One of our motors burst into flames, which required the team to forsake. The designer and I remained locally available and we proceeded with our trip for another five miles until we lost a wing. We at that point rescued and parachuted securely before the plane smashed close to the town of Taketa. I dodged catch for eight hours. I was blindfolded, cuffed, and taken via train to a camp.
