Later that night, _______ was ambushed by a German machine gun position and received six wounds: one in his hand, severing his middle finger; four in his leg and one in his chest.

Also among the participants of this flight were the ashes of US astronaut Gordon Cooper and "Star Trek" (1966)writer/director/producer John Meredyth Lucas, as well as 199 others.
