Ed Vincent’s Crew

Edgar L. “Ed” Vincent was the aircraft commander (AC) pilot on the 40th Bomb Squadrons SuperFortress “Flak Alley Sally,” a B-29-55-BW, serial #42-24878. He flew 32 missions to places like Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Yawata. “Flak Alley Sally” absorbed hits from the enemy and accumulated 141 holes in her skin. None were in a critical system, and she continued flying and completing missions. Vincent and his crew flew on what is described as the longest non-stop bombing mission of WWII, a night mine laying mission from Tinian to Rashin, on the northeast coast of Korea, and back again, some 4,400 miles. They competed the mission from Tinian in 19 hours and 40 minutes, returning to Tinian without stopping at Iwo Jima on the return for fuel. Between Vincent’s piloting, the skills of the flight engineer and navigator, “Flak Alley Sally” was the only plane sent to Rashin able to complete the mission without stopping at Iwo Jima.
