LT. PAUL HIBBARD KILLED ON 27TH BOMBING FLIGHT

Pilot of a flying fortress and holder of the Air Medal with four Oak Leaf Clusters, Lt. Paul R. Hibbard, nephew of George Hibbard and cousin of Grace Sheldon, was killed September 18 while flying his 27th mission in the European Theater, according to word received by Mr. Hibbard.
Lt. Hibbard had been piloting his ship on the triangle shuttle bombing run - from England to Russia, then to Italy and back to England. On his first mission over Europe he brought his plane limping back to the home base with one engine shot out and another badly damaged.

Lt. Hibbard received his wings in November, 1943, at Marfa, Texas, Army Air Field and his final training at Alexandra, Ala. The Seattle officer flew his own bomber overseas in May of this year.
