Priscilla Corry Gotto was born on January 1, 1917, in Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. She was the son of Charles Corry Gotto and Ethel Millar Gotto. She served in the Mechanised Transport Corps as a Captain and was hitching a ride home to Belfast via Langford Lodge and may have been the driver for one of the officer passengers aboard of B-17-G #43-38847 during World War II.

On November 25, 1944, B-17G #43-38847 crashed into Clee Hill near Ludlow, Shropshire, while en route from Stansted Airfield to Northern Ireland via Burtonwood. Adverse weather caused the aircraft, carrying three crew members and three passengers, to drift 28 degrees off course. Efforts to regain altitude were unsuccessful, and the plane collided with a quarry face, disintegrating on impact. Tragically, all on board lost their lives.

Cpt Gotto is now buried in the Belfast City Cemetery, Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
