The loose buckle that asked if you would jump
This episode recounts the story of Wally Kinnan, a B-17 pilot who faced an impossible choice during a bombing mission. It explores the profound question of what it costs to hold on for others when time is running out for yourself.
Person: Henry Wallace Kinnan (Wally)
Date: August 17, 1943
Location: Eygalières, Vichy France
Aircraft: B-17 Flying Fortress
Squadron: 429th Bombardment Squadron, Second Bomb Group
- Wally Kinnan, originally slated for fighter planes, was reassigned to bombers due to urgent pilot needs, placing him in a B-17 over southern France.
- During a mission, his B-17 took hits over Eygalières, causing engine number four to catch fire and wounding the other pilot.
- Kinnan remained at the controls of the burning aircraft, allowing his entire crew to escape before his own bail-out.
- While crawling through the burning fuselage, his parachute snagged, forcing him to unbuckle it, and he never properly restrapped it before jumping.
- After landing, injured and alone in occupied territory, Kinnan was captured by German soldiers who, by his own account, treated him with genuine care.
