Que Jones

2nd Lt. Que Jones was a Co Pilot on 2nd Lt John Zimmer's crew.

2nd Lt Que Jones was KIA on April 28th, 1944. He was on pilot John Zimmer's plane and was on a bombing mission to the Porto San Stefano docks in Italy. Flak was heavier than expected and Zimmer was killed by flak and the plane radioed that it had really been nailed. The plane was on fire and they were trying to make it back to base on two engines. They were told to land at a fighter field that was closer than the Giulia bomber field, but on approach they were waved off by the tower as a plane was on fire on the runway. In trying to gain altitude the third engine went out and the plane either exploded gaining altitude or or when it went down killing all on board.

2nd Lt Que D Jones was assigned to the 459th BG 758th Squadron.
