January 7, 1948 UFO chase!
Airman Thomas Mantell was stationed at Fort Knox, KY. His hometown was in Franklin, KY. He and two trainees were ordered to chase a police reported craft up to 300 feet in diameter! He told his trainees to return to base and "go hot" with ammo!
From 20,000 feet @ 3:18 PM witnesses said his Mustang fell out of the sky just outside Franklin over 107 miles SW of Fort Knox.
The C-47 pictured here was hard to describe. The left wing was shredded, over half of the aluminum skin was peeled upwards and "gone" from top to bottom!
September 1944
Heroic action in WWII
Operation Market Garden
THOMAS Mantell was a decorated war hero who flew on D-Day as he helped drop troops into Normandy.
He won a collection of medals, but the one that gives his family most pride is the Distinguished Flying Cross. The pilot was awarded the red, white and blue ribbon for a death defying mission over the Netherlands in September 1944.
Flying the C-47 Skytrain transport called "Vulture's Delight", he was towing a glider full of soldiers. Nazi anti-aircraft guns then opened fire on the aircraft - smashing the rudder, setting the tail on fire, and disabling some of the controls.
Mantell had a choice - release the glider behind enemy lines, potentially dooming the soldiers, or risk certain death as he continued the mission to make their mark. He carried on into the hailstorm of German gunfire - and managed to stay the course and safely release the glider. Mantell's plane was battered and bruised, but he managed to nurse her back over the sea to home base in the England. Photos show just how badly Vultures Delight was damaged having been shredded by the gunfire. The C-47 looked like it shouldn't have been able to stay airborne, but somehow Mantell kept her going on the long journey back. It was a miracle he made it home.
His grandson Terry Mantell told The Sun Online: "His plane was hit bad and instead of releasing them and returning, he stayed the course and hit his mark on the release and made it back to the base with that plane. "So he saved a lot of guys in the glider from getting released where they would have been destroyed for they were behind enemy lines."
