Parker P. Crater.

2nd Lt. Parker P. Crater served as navigator aboard B-24D 41-23111 on the 9 October 1943 Danzig mission. When the aircraft suffered engine failures and began heading toward Sweden, Crater bailed out of the bomb bay doors at approximately 1430 hours over the Baltic Sea.

Crater bailed out approximately 80 miles southeast of Kalmar, Sweden, in the Baltic Sea. His parachute was reported to have opened and he was equipped with a Mae West life preserver, but visibility was good and no shipping was seen in the area. He was listed as Missing in Action and his fate was unknown.
