| 1 | Anderson | P A | Sergeant | ![]() | Air Gunner | 1939-45 Star; France and Germany Star; War Medal 1939-45 | Bomber Command | 51Sqn![]() | 1944-11-09 | Halifax | III | MZ624 | MH-N | Snaith | 1601 | Gelsenkirchen | Damaged over target area | Anderson qualified as an Air Gunner at No. 1 A.G.S. Pembrey in December 1943 and commenced his operational tour in 51 Squadron, a Halifax unit operating out of RAF Snaith, in August 1944. He was to serve as both a Mid-Upper and Rear Gunner in Flying Officer L. C. Ainsley’s crew throughout his tour. His early sorties largely comprised daylight trips to targets in France, namely V1 sites and enemy airfields and railway marshalling yards. But German targets also made up 51’s operational agenda, the Squadron participating in the attack on Homberg on 27 August 1944, the first time Bomber Command had visited the Ruhr by day. As Anderson would later recall, ‘When we approached the target I could see a huge black cloud of flak bursts. It was really terrifying ... We bombed with the second wave ... and then got the hell out of it.’ It was in the course of 51’s next day light operation to Germany on 11 September 1944 - an attack on the plant at Nordstern, near Gelsenkirchen - that Anderson was slightly wounded and his Wireless Operator seriously so. ‘I could hear and feel the shells bursting around us and even smell the fumes of the exploding shells which burst so close that the shrapnel ripped in with an awful twanging sound. I heard someone cry over the intercom “That last one got me.” Then my intercom went dead. The wire had been cut by a piece of shrapnel ... A short while after I felt a thump on my leg and knew I was hit ... The [American] M.O. gave us two and half bottles of whiskey between us and we made very short work of that - and did I need it. On examination the next day, we counted 188 flak holes and how none of us were killed is still a mystery. The skipper received an immediate award of the DFC. and he deserved it.’ He and his crew were lucky indeed to make it home. His skipper was awarded an immediate DFC (London Gazette 31 October 1944, refers), the recommendation stating: ‘This officer is a most competent pilot and first class captain of aircraft. One night in September 1944, he was detailed for an attack on a synthetic oil plant at Nordstern. When nearing the target area the aircraft was hit by anti-aircraft fire and the starboard engine was rendered unserviceable. Shortly afterwards the aircraft was hit in the port aileron, making it difficult to steer correctly. In spite of this Flying Officer Ainsley continued to the target and bombed it. On the turn for home the bomber was hit once more. The port engine was affected and the hydraulic system was put out of action. After crossing the English coast the defective port engine became useless. Flight Lieutenant Ainsley thereupon headed for the nearest airfield where he made a safe landing with the undercarriage retracted. This officer set a fine example of skill, courage and tenacity.’ Notwithstanding the momentous events of 11 September, pilot and crew carried out five further sorties before the month’s end, namely attacks on Kiel and Neuss, and three daylight outings to France. Dusseldorf and Bochum followed in November, and Upladen, Cologne and Osnabruck in December, Anderson noting in his Flying Log Book that an Me. 110 was beaten off over the latter target on the 5th and claimed as a ‘Probable’. Then in the period January-April 1945, he and his crew carried out another 15 trips to Germany, Cologne and Hamburg being among the the targets. Tour-expired - a total of 35 sorties with 78 hours by day and 198 by night - Anderson was posted to a Transport Command unit. ![]() | |||||||||||

Heinz Vinke See archive report for details | Missing - believed killed | Read Archive Report He took part in his first operational sortie on 15 November 1941, where his pilot was the New Zealander Sergeant Gordon Cochrane, who ultimately ended the War with the DSO and DFC with Two Bars. From 15 November 1941 to 20 June 1942 Adams took part in 26 sorties with Cochrane as pilot including a raid on Hamburg on 30 November 1941, when their aircraft was ‘attacked over target area by a He113, attack came at the rear of the aircraft but the attacker was hit with 300 round burst from Wellington front gunner as he exited from his attack. Fuel tank holed and several geodetics were severed. The aircraft was then held in a searchlight cone for ten minutes over the target and 'pounded' by flak. The pilot dived the aircraft right and down to 4,000 feet to shake off the attack’. They also participated in attacks on the German battleships Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen in Brest and during the famous Channel dash. Other sorties included Bremen, Munster, St Nazaire, Dortmund, Paris, Cologne, and four attacks on the Krupps Works at Essen. On 1-2 June 1942 they took part in the second Thousand Bomber Raid on Essen. Cochrane completed his tour and moved to training in late June. Flight Officer Osbourne took over as the new crew pilot. They continued with a raid on Emden then the third Thousand Bomber Raid on Bremen on 25-26 June 1942. Adams was killed in action on his 29th sortie when Wellington X3309, piloted by Flying Officer D. O. Osborne, was shot down over the Ijsselmeer, east of Enkhuizen, by the German night-fighter pilot Uffz. Heinz Vinke whilst on a raid to Bremen on 27-28 June 1942. All the crew were killed. Adams is commemorated with the rest of his crew on the Runnymede Memorial.
