The Final Mission: A Boy, a Pilot and a World at War
Saturday, May 19th at 2 PM
“A remarkable story of sacrifice, honor, and life-long redemption that provides a rare glimpse into the true drama of the human experience, as detailed in a chance encounter between a downed military aviator and a young boy during World War II. " —Lt. Col. Christopher Gruber,
Western Region Medical Command, Iraq and Afghanistan veteran
In July 1944, Lt. Henry Supchak was flying his second-to-last mission over Germany when his B-17 bomber, Priority Gal, was hit by antiaircraft fire, disabling two engines and wounding him in the thigh. He attempted to reach neutral Switzerland, but was forced instead to order his eight crewmen to bail out over Austria. As Supchak prepared to abandon his aircraft he saw that it was on a collision course with an Alpine village. He instinctively got back into his seat, adjusted the controls, and barely escaped before the plane exploded at the base of a mountain. He parachuted into a pasture where a shepherd boy and his aunt stared in disbelief at this “man who fell from the sky.” Almost immediately, German infantry surrounded the pilot and took him away to solitary confinement. Although slightly burned by the exploding aircraft, the boy managed to find out where the wounded pilot was being held and snuck food and water to him before Supchak and his crew were taken away to a notorious prison camp for the rest of the war.
Books will be available for purchase at the time of the talk.
Newtown's Jim Allen will be performing a special musical tribute to Lt. Col. Henry Supchak.
