Major Benn, a pioneer in the "skip bombing" technique so effective in the Pacific air war, was listed as Missing in Action after a mission on January 18, 1943.AWARDS BY DATE OF ACTION: 1 of 2

DURING World War IIService: Army Air Forces

Division: 5th Air Force
GENERAL ORDERS:
Headquarters, South West Pacific Area, General Orders No. 48 (1942)CITATION:
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Major (Air Corps) William Grover Benn (ASN: 0-21524), United States Army Air Forces, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving as Pilot of a B-17 Heavy Bomber in the 63d Bombardment Squadron, 43d Bombardment Group (H), FIFTH Air Force, while participating in bombing missions from 1 to 25 October 1942 against enemy Japanese ground and surface targets in Southwest Pacific War Area. On the night of 1 - 2 October, 1942, a 15,000-ton transport was hit and set afire; a 7,000 tone cargo ship was hit and left smoking; one cruiser and one unidentified vessel probably were damaged. Two sticks of bombs ere dropped across Lukanau airdrome, causing heavy explosions. The night of 24 - 25 October a cruiser, a destroyer, two large merchantmen, a transport and a small cargo vessel were believed damaged. A direct hit was scored on the cruiser, which also was strafed from low altitude. On the night of 24 - 25 October, two 5,000-ton merchantmen were hit and believed sunk, a large merchantman was damaged and one gunboat was blown up. In addition, hits were scored on the dock areas. Headquarters estimates that the total tonnage of Japanese shipping sunk or put out of commission by these raids amounted to 100,000 tons. All three of these missions encountered severe weather conditions en route to and from the target, making navigation exceedingly difficult. Due to low cloud formations over the target area, the attacks were launched at altitudes ranging from 200 to 5,000 feet. All attacks were made in the face of heavily concentrated anti-aircraft fire. The personal courage and zealous devotion to duty displayed by Major Benn during this period have upheld the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, the 5th Air Force, and the United States Army Air Forces.

Bio: William's remains were recovered in 1957 and he is now interred in the Zachary Taylor National Cemetery, Louisville, Kentucky." Click Here " for that record.
A "Rosette" was placed in front of his name here at Manila to signify that his remains were recovered.
William served as a Major & Pilot on a B-25C #41-12485, Headquarter's Squadron, 5th Air Force, U.S. Army Air Force during World War II.
He resided in Washington County, Pennsylvania prior to the war.
B-25C #41-12485 took off from 7 Mile Drome (Jackson Airport), Central Province, Papua New Guinea on a Recon. Mission over Buna, Oro Province, Papua New Guinea. They never returned to base.
When their remains were recovered it was determined that one of the engine's of B-25C #41-12485 had been hit by gunfire which probably caused them to crash.

AWARDED FOR ACTIONS
DURING World War IIService: Army Air Forces
Battalion: 63d Bombardment Squadron
Division: 5th Air Force
GENERAL ORDERS:
Headquarters, South West Pacific Area, General Orders No. 48 (1942)CITATION:
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Major (Air Corps) William Grover Benn (ASN: 0-21524), United States Army Air Forces, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving as Pilot of a B-17 Heavy Bomber in the 63d Bombardment Squadron, 43d Bombardment Group (H), FIFTH Air Force, while participating in bombing missions from 1 to 25 October 1942 against enemy Japanese ground and surface targets in Southwest Pacific War Area. On the night of 1 - 2 October, 1942, a 15,000-ton transport was hit and set afire; a 7,000 tone cargo ship was hit and left smoking; one cruiser and one unidentified vessel probably were damaged. Two sticks of bombs ere dropped across Lukanau airdrome, causing heavy explosions. The night of 24 - 25 October a cruiser, a destroyer, two large merchantmen, a transport and a small cargo vessel were believed damaged. A direct hit was scored on the cruiser, which also was strafed from low altitude. On the night of 24 - 25 October, two 5,000-ton merchantmen were hit and believed sunk, a large merchantman was damaged and one gunboat was blown up. In addition, hits were scored on the dock areas. Headquarters estimates that the total tonnage of Japanese shipping sunk or put out of commission by these raids amounted to 100,000 tons. All three of these missions encountered severe weather conditions en route to and from the target, making navigation exceedingly difficult. Due to low cloud formations over the target area, the attacks were launched at altitudes ranging from 200 to 5,000 feet. All attacks were made in the face of heavily concentrated anti-aircraft fire. The personal courage and zealous devotion to duty displayed by Major Benn during this period have upheld the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, the 5th Air Force, and the United States Army Air Forces.

Bio:
Passed away peacefully, on Monday, March 30, 2020, at 74 years old, surrounded by family. She was born on June 21, 1945 in Winona, Minnesota, to the late Irvin and Margaret Baer. She married her true love, Robert I. Carpenter, who preceded her death in 2001.
Mary is survived by her children, Tod (Dina), Tonia (Bryan) Armstrong, and Chad (Deana); grandchildren, Maia, Hailey, Tyler, Derick, Troy and Avery; sister, Karen McNeal; brother, Bill (Barb) Baer; several close relatives and dear friends. She loved and touched us all deeply.
Mary was a dedicated mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She loved having her family over for Sunday morning breakfasts, enjoyed having her grandchildren over for sleepovers and shopping sprees, and cherished her numerous adventures with family and friends. From casino trips, to line-dancing, to horseback riding, she was always ready to have fun. Mary brought joy, happiness and sunshine into our lives, and impacted the lives of many others. Her kind and gentle spirit, and zest for life will live on through all who knew her.
She left us like a shooting star and will forever be in our hearts. We want to thank her for all the sweet memories and traditions she has left behind.
A Family Graveside Service was held at Webster Rural Cemetery.
