Description
NE148 (AA-H) of 75 NZ squadron which was flown by Noel Stokes, on the night of 29th of July 1944 on the way to bomb the Daimler-Benz and Bosch factories in Stuttgart, Germany. They were attacked by a night fighter. The rear gunner Norman Wilding (UK) was killed and the aircraft set on fire and became uncontrollable. When the rest of the crew, including 2nd Pilot Jack Morris of Cambridge who's still alive today in Auckland, were ordered to bail out, its captain Noel Stokes stayed with the stricken bomber and manouvre it in such a way to save it from crashing onto a French village below. The Lancaster carried a Donald Duck nose art and was named Howzat!
