Harbour Manson ‘H. M.’ Middleton was born Feb. 4, 1918 to James and Sadie Moore Middleton. He died Nov. 21, 1998 and is buried in Acacia Memorial Park, Lake Forest Park, WA.
Major Middleton served with the 301st Bomb Group, U.S. Air Force in World War II. He was the co-pilot on the “Maverick”, piloted by Lt. Harold Brasher which was disabled by German flak on the attack on the Bizette docks. The Germans racked Brasher’s Boeing with gunfire, inflicting serious damage to the aircraft and wounding five of the crew. A cannon shell exploded in the cockpit and started a fire, which both pilots fought and extinguished as the plane rapidly lost seven thousand feet of altitude. The navigator, Robert Castle, prepared to bailout. He jettisoned the escape hatch and extended his legs outside the aircraft, when he looked back to see the bombardier, Milton Zahn, struggling to put on his parachute. Castle hesitated, deciding whether to jump or help his comrade. Just then the pilots pulled the bomber out of the dive, saving Castle from having to make that fateful decision. German gunfire had knocked out the power for the ball turret, severed all but six inches from one of the .50s, and cut off the oxygen supply. Nevertheless the ball gunner, Don Herman, continued to crank the turret around by hand to deceive the Germans. Despite heavy damage, Brasher made an emergency, dead-stick landing at Bone airfield just inside Algeria. “Maverick” was badly battered as the airmen counted fifty-two holes within ten square feet. Gerald Yates, the radio operator, died from his wounds.
