One of Those Stories For The Ages....
It
goes without saying but we'll do it anyway.... World War II was the
bloodiest conflict in the world, sending the most amount of soldiers to a
fight which ended with the greatest civilian & military casualties
ever recorded. That's saying a lot. There are a myraid of books
written about this horrendous time in history. There were probably
hundreds of thousands of acts of heroism that we'll never hear about
& maybe even more miracles that went unnoticed....we are glad to say
that we found one of those stories that include both!
Owen John
Baggett was born in 1920 in Graham, Texas....by 1941 he graduated from
college & went on to work on Wall Street, but by the following year,
he joined the Army Air Corps (now called the US Air Force) when the US
entered the war....
head
A studious man, he graduated from pilot training in just five months
& was sent to Burma, flying a B-24 Liberator. What happened the
following year is one of those stories we just described! On March
31st, 1943, Baggett & his squadron were sent on a mission to destroy
a bridge of strategic importance. On their way, the B-24s were
intercepted by Japanese Zeros which hit the squadron hard. Baggett's
plane was riddled with bullets to such an extent that the crew was
forced to bail out. While parachuting, a Japanese pilot decided that
downing the plane wasn't enough. He circled around & started
shooting at the bailed out pilots, killing two of the crew.....seeing
this, Baggett did the only think he could do....he played dead.....
Not
convinced Baggett was dead, the Zero pulled up to him at near stall
speed, the pilot opening his canopy to check on his horrendous
work.....not wasting any time & think on his feet (no pun intended),
Baggett pulled out his pistol & shot the pilot right in the head!
This
is considered the best shot by a Caliber .45 M911 pistol of ALL TIME!
The last thing he saw was the Zero spiraling toward earth. When he
landed, he & the other bailed out crew members were captured &
sent to a POW camp where they remained till the end of the war. They
were liberated by OSS agents (WW II version of the modern CIA) &
Baggett was recognized as the only person during the War to shoot down a
Zero with a pistol.....
