The War Department has notified Mr. and Mrs. Ray Click, of Mt. Alto, WV., that their son, Delbert Click, has been seriously wounded on a bombing mission in the Italian theatre of the war and is now in an army hospital where he is being treated. Further details have not been revealed. Young Click had been serving in the Army Air Force and was a bombardier on a heavy bomber and had several missions to his credit until his ill-fated flight during which a German shell struck the bomber on which he was serving and he was seriously wounded but the pilot brought the badly damaged ship to an Allied base where it landed and the wounded crewmen were taken to hospitals. Click had served in the same squadron with Captain Clark Gable, noted film star, who served overseas for several months before being transferred back to the states. He spent several months training at air stations in this country and had been overseas several months. Indications are that if he survives his wounds he will be transferred back to a hospital in this country. The parents and the many friends of the young man are hopeful that the next news will bring encouragement to all who hope for his recovery. (Friday, March 24, 1944) How a Mt. Alto youth narrowly escaped death when his bombing plane went out of control and crashed while on a mission over German territory was told this week in a letter received by the parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Click, who are living at the present time in Parkersburg, and which brought back by the young man's captain who returned home and was then mailed to the parents. He is now on the island of Corscia in the Mediterranean. The event which he describes in the letter happened last February 13 and he was listed as wounded in action. He is a Staff Sergeant. His letter is as follows: "Dear Mother: I will write you a few lines, Captain Gellman is going home tomorrow and I will send the letter by him. He was my navigator coming over and Lt. O'Toole is coming home also. He was my co-pilot. I will tell you about my experience when I was injured. When we were sent over the target we got a direct hit in the bomb bay. The gas line caught fire and our hydraulic system was shot out so there was no way to put out the fire with our bomb bay doors open and the rear hatch wouldn't come all the way out and I got stuck in it. The heat melted the aluminum but I was held fast. My face, arms and hands were burned. Everybody but me left the ship, and I was held fast. The bomber finally went out of control and as it turned over and over somehow I was thrown out. I still knew enough to pull my parachute and lucky for me it opened and I landed in the sea. A PT boat picked me up about an hour and a half later. It hurt considerable for a week and then I was o.k. My face was dark for a couple of months but it has all cleared up now and I am o.k. Don't worry, Love, Delbert" (Friday, May 26, 1944)
