Beran was a graduate of Holy Family High School. He entered the service in August 1942 and trained at Kearns, Utah; Sheppard Field, Texas; Santa Monica, California; Fort Myers, Florida and Scott Field, Texas. He was the top turret gunner on B-17 "Bastard's Bungalow" on a mission to bomb the rail yards of Frankfurt, Germany. The airplane was hit by flak over Frankfurt. Approximately 10 km north of Brussels, Belgium, it lost an engine and pulled out of formation and headed for the undercast. It was smoking but appeared under control. At that time, Erich Scheyda, (an ace of JG26) attacked the straggling bomber that was diving for the undercast. Lt Scheyda damaged the B-17 further, but did not shoot it down. It flew on towards the North Sea and was hit by heavy flak over Vlissingen. The damaged B-17 turned North to a heading of approximately 010 degrees and started a descent, knowing that it could not make the trip across the English Channel. No parachutes were seen. The entire crew of 10 was killed. The bodies of Harry Waskewicz, John Hamilton and Richard Anderegg were recovered near Ouddorp, Holland on 6 February 1944. They were buried on 7 February 1944 at Ouddorp Communal Cemetery. The body of John Joyce was recovered near Ellemeet, Holland on 5 April 1944 and was buried on 18 April 1944 in Haamstede Cemetery, near Ellemeet. The wreckage of the plane is now located and lies near the Europort at Rotterdam. It now is located approximately 2 km southeast of the Hoek of the Europort. The Dutch Royal Navy is hoping to accomplish a side-scan sonar search of this area to re-locate the plane. There are still six crewmembers in the wreckage. https://www.fieldsofhonor-database.com/index.php/en/american-war-cemetery-margraten-b/46527-beran-roman-b Contributor: ET (47514618)
