Paul Gorman

In 1944 a plane from the Eighth Air Force crashes into St Phillip’s church in the city of Norwich. Flying over the busy city, the plane lost power and the airmen took the brave decision to fly into the church tower, away from residential areas, to minimise the loss of life in the crash.

Paul Gorman was a member of the crew . A number of documents relating to his death are contained in the teachers pack, including the images found here.
