STEEPLE MORDEN 355th WAR MEMORIAL
World
War 2 - Roll of Honour with detailed information

The
memorial stands outside the old Steeple Morden fighter base (AAF Station
F-122). This was manned by USA personnel during World War 2 and from
here flew P-47 Thunderbolts and P-51 Mustangs. The centre section describes
the various squadrons making up 355th Fighter Group. This is flanked
by two columns, one giving the history of the group and the second the
units assigned to the station. The outer columns name those men who
died from the base; the left most column being the American
servicemen and the right most column Commonwealth
servicemen.
The
airfield started its career as a satellite for nearby Bassingbourn in
late 1940 and was occupied by Wellingtons (see the Wellington
T2905 website). Plans were drawn up by Fighter Command to use alternative
airfields should the invasion of Southern England take place. Steeple
Morden was selected to take aircraft from Northolt. The airfield was
bombed twice with Wellingtons being damaged in the process. The base
was used more for training while Bassingbourn's concrete runways were
being laid so the airfield became home to Ansons and Lysanders too.
Eventually they moved away and the base was handed over to the Americans
who carried out construction work to make it into a bomber station.
The 5th Photographic Group were the first Americans to see service at
the base and they were commanded by Colonel Elliott Roosevelt, the US
President's son. They used converted P-38s and were known as F-4s. They
soon moved on and the base was used briefly by Blenheims of D Flight
of 17 OTU.
It
was realised that Steeple Morden was not really suitable for a Class
A bomber airfield so it was relegated it to a fighter station. The 355th
Fighter Squadron was activated 15th November 1942, at Hamilton Field,
CA, flying the P-39 Airacobra. The unit trained in California, Nevada,
Oregon, and New York before transferring to the 9th Air Force in England
in November 1943. The 355th Fighter Group moved into Steeple Morden
with P-47Ds although it took some time for the unit to become operational
because of the short supply of aircraft. After a slow start they were
re-equipped with P-51s and went on to become one of the most successful
fighter units of the war, strafing aircraft on the ground. Aircraft
from here were also used to escort B-17s on a bombing mission on Polish
oilfields, made possible by the use of drop tanks. The 355th's last
mission was on 25th April 1945 by which time they had recorded 868 victories.

Squadron, 355th Fighter Group, killed in action when he was shot
down by light flak from the airdrome at Lechfeld 24th July 1944
flying in P-51C serial no. 42-103334 354 Squadron. Entered the Service
from New York. Awarded Air Medal, Purple Heart. No known grave.
Commemorated on Tablets of the Missing at Epinal American Cemetery,
Epinal, France
Note:
Originally he was buried in the village-cemetery at Untermeitingen
(at the airdrome), after the war his remains were exhumed and taken
to Lorraine St. Avold American Cemetery. The documents identifying
Peter M. Sawchuk were lost during the transportation of his coffin
to France so he is buried there as "Unknown". In the death
register of Untermeitingen can be found the exact name and service-number,
but mistakenly entered as "Canadian". |
