“Why don’t you throw me overboard? I’m just so much extra pounds. Throw me out too.” These were the words of Technical Sergeant Forrest Lee Vosler who had been injured in his plane the Jersey Bounce Jr.
On December 20, 1943, Technical Sergeant Forrest Lee Vosler and his crew were aboard their B17F, Jersey Bounce Jr, flying over Germany. Amidst heavy flak, they successfully dropped ordnance on industrial complexes in Bremen. However, disaster struck when a flak shell hit the wing of their plane, causing a fire in one engine and loss of power in another. Falling away from the formation, they were left vulnerable to enemy fighters. Vosler, manning the .50 caliber machine gun, watched as nearby bombers were attacked and fell from the sky. Their plane was next. Two Bf 109s attacked from behind, hitting tail gunner George Buske and sending a shell into the fuselage, injuring Vosler. In a desperate attempt to keep the plane flying the crew pushed as much out of the plane as they could. At which point Vosler made his request to sacrifice himself for the lives of the crew.
