 During Lieutenant Pemberton's 9th raid over the Ploești area, his plane was shot. Despite the plane's heavy damage, Pemberton was almost able to fly it back to the base. However, just after crossing the Yugoslavian coastline the engine gave out and the crew was forced to abandon the plane. The crew, including Pemberton, died following ejection from the aircraft.
