LT. CLARENCE DOAN
SAVES PLANE AND CREW
15TH ARMY AIR FORCE.—Lieut.
Clarence Doan of 429 Bingham Ave.,
Hamilton, Ohio, bombardier with an
AAF B-17 Flying Fortress group op
erating from an Italian base, on a
mission over Toulon, France, on April
29, 1944, is credited with saving his
plane and crew...
Through a malfunction, the second
bomb failed to release, and the third
bomb, which was fully armed and
ready to explode, fell on top of it.
Lieutenant Doan crawled into the
bomb bay, and 20,000 feet above the
target, released the bomb by hand. On
the bomb he released the pin had been
pulled and the fin was starting to spin.
Crewmen estimated that it would have
been a matter of minutes before the
bomb would have exploded in the
Fortress. Lieutenant Doan's hands
were frost-bitten. His only comment
was, "J hope it hit the target."
A graduate of Camden High School,
Camden, Ohio, he took his bombardier
training at Ellington Field, Houston,
Texas, and at Midland Field, Texas.
He has completed 15 combot missions
over targets in Italy, France, Ger
many, and the Balkans.
His mother, Mrs. Lauretta Helen
Doan, resides at the Hamilton address
When we receive a clipping1 of a story
which tells about a soldier from your

First, we see to it that the clipping
gets posted on his squadron bulletin
board. Or, the story may be effectively
used in the official Squadron Diary, His
