H. H. Wemble.

1st Lt. H.H. Wemble served as pilot of the 409th Bomb Squadron, 93rd Bomb Group aircraft on the August 1, 1943 Ploesti mission. He crash-landed the plane approximately 10 miles southwest of the target after the aircraft sustained severe damage from enemy fire.

Wemble lost a leg as a result of injuries sustained on the mission. He was taken as a prisoner of war and held in Romania. He was later released along with the surviving crew when Romania changed sides in 1944 and was repatriated along with Thompson and other crew members.
