After being escorted by Swiss Morane Fighters to Dubendorf Airfield near Zurich, the Super Ball crash-landed, collapsing the landing gear upon contact with the ground. The navigator, LTC Mahaffey recalls: "To say Woody's landing was an outstanding feat of airmanship would be an understatement. After skidding to a halt, we all piled out. The bombadier, Dick Davis, couldn't distruct the bombsight so while we were still airborne he pulled it out of his mount, pounded it on the floor (I can still see it bouncing up and down), and then dropped it out the escape hatch at about 8,000 feet. Naturally, my distruct mechanism on the "G" box didn't work either, so I pounded it a few times also. On coming to a stop at Dubendorf, we were immediately surrounded by armed guards, searched and taken into interrogation. We gave the usual name, rank, and serial number routine. It didn't matter, the Swiss knew all about us." Later, the officers were separated from the enlisted and placed in separate quarters. In all, 16 bombers made it to Swizerland that day, the highest of any day of the war. LT Mears would spend time at several camps, beginning with a 21 day quarantine at Chaumont, near Neuchatel. On the 11th of April he was moved to Camp Moloney, located at Adelboden. The following photos were taken at Chaumont and Adelboden. The first photo in this series is of 52 officers from 13 different crews who were shot down the same day as my grandfather and made it to Switzerland.
