Mr Tony Foulds was just a schoolboy when he and his friends, saw the plane, crash on 22 February 1944.
Tony Foulds looks after a memorial in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield, to the crew of the B-17 Flying Fortress “Mi Amigo” that crashed there.
In Feb 2019 - 75th Anniversary - a fly past was organised. Missouri Governor Mike Parson issued a proclamation to thank Mr Foulds "for his profound devotion to remembering and commemorating the Mi Amigo crew".
The Missouri proclamation states that Mi Amigo was severely damaged by shelling during a raid on an enemy airbase and was flying low searching for a place to make an emergency landing.
Because children, including Tony Foulds, were playing in the park, the pilot Lt John Kriegshauser, from St Louis, crashed the plane into woods just beyond the park, and sadly there were no survivors.
