WW2 Combat Flights of Frank M. Tubb, USAAF

A static map of the documented combat missions flown by Corporal Frank M. Tubb, radio operator with the 500 Bomb Squadron, 345 Bomb Group during WW2.

A search of the National Archives and Records Administration website does not return an Enlistment Record for Frank M. Tubb. A search of documents held by Fold3 reveals only that he was a resident of Texas, that his Army Serial Number was either 18106183 or 18105183, and that he was a radio operator. His wife’s home address was listed as being in Festus, Missouri.

Corporal Tubb appears in the flight records of the 345 Bomb Group during the period that it was stationed at San Marcelino, Luzon. He flew on eight combat missions, with two of them being mine spotting flights over Manila Bay and six of them being shipping sweeps along the Indochina and China coasts.

Corporal Tubb was killed when the B-25 Bold Venture crashed into a low hill near Hong Kong on March 15, 1945.
