3051 | Boag | Leslie Richard | Flying Officer | 418336 | 17 October 1913, Richmond, Victoria, Australia | Australian | Navigator | RAAF | Bomber Command | 83 Sqn![]() | 1944-01-21 | Lancaster | III | JB365 | OL-X | RAF Wyton, Cambridgeshire | 19:57 | Magdeburg | JB365 was claimed by Fw. Andreas Hartl, his 2nd, from 6./JG302 west of Berlin at 23:15 hours. The Lancaster was attacked approaching Magdeburg and set on fire, abandoned and crashed at Pretzien (Nachtjagd Combat Archive (1 January - 15 March 1944) Part 1 - Theo Boiten) | He was captured by a farmer on the 25th Jan 1944 about 4 miles NE of Berg whilst trying to steal a cabbage PoW No 3342, Stalag Luft 3 Sagan & Belaria | ![]() | Flt.Lt. Boag’s statement of the circumstances of the loss of the aircraft. "Reaching turn onto target, flew radius of action to waste time and returned. Had just reached turn again picking up datum for timed run when W/Op reported fighter 100 yards astern closing on his equipment. Acknowledged by rear gunner. Nothing furthermore few seconds when cannon shell hit us ahead of my position. Bomb Aimer stood up and asked the pilot to open bomb doors to jettison. Just then I together with Bomb Aimer was thrown forward and knocked out. On regaining my senses found I was sitting on the instrument panel with head against perspex. Starboard wing well alight and both motors feathered. We seemed to be going straight down so I bailed out where the side had been blown away. At approx 2000 feet I saw the plane hit immediately ablaze all over. I could not see if the skipper was still in his seat or not. I believe he was hit in the first attack and while I was out he succeeded in feathering both starboard motors and I think getting rid of the bomb load apart from markers which were selected off. I did not know who had got out but was afterwards told by the Germans I was the only survivor. This I am convinced was due to Starboard engines being feathered enabling me to get out there. This was done by the skipper F/O J C H Davies on his own as the Engineer was in the nose at the time of the attack. I would like to place on record his actions while wounded and also his attempt to put the fire out and I personally think that some recognition should be made." Promoted to Flt.Lt. whilst as a PoW (4 February 1945) | |||||||

Fg.Off. Caine Stated: We followed Sqn.Ldr. Scherf at Ribnitz, seeing him attacking 2 HE.115s on the water. We attacked 4 DO.18s, seeing strikes on all four. Two of them burst into flames and- exploded. (1548 hours), (two bursts 2 and 4 secs from 500 to 50 yards.) We then flew to Barth, where we attacked a JU.52 on the ground from 500 ft., with a 2 second burst. He exploded immediately, and Sqn.Ldr. Scherf saw him burning (1622 hours) . We then attacked HE.111, on which we saw strikes, and Sqn.Ldr. Scherf came in and finished it off. A JU.88 was next attacked from 300 to nil feet, with a one second burst, and he burst into flames. After that, we attacked a JU.86 en the ground, seeing strikes. We came round and attacked again from E. to W., destroying a JU.34 on the S. side of the A/F. It burst, into flames and we flew through them, coming round and attacking the JU 86 previously damaged, from W, to E., leaving him in flames and flying through his debris, some of which hit us. We set course for Greifsweld, following Sqn.Ldr. Scherf, who was 500 yards ahead of us, and 5 minutes later. our port engine packed up. We called Sqn.Ldr. Scherf , but could not regain visual contact, so headed N.
