* Today Lieut. Gen. Frank M. Andrews, United States Army Commander in the European theatre of operations, announced formally that he was listed as “missing” and said that two men had been seen to have bailed out of the bomber in which Post had been a passenger. Some witnesses said nine jumped from the bomber.

Post did not make it out of the plane. This should be confirmed in a few months. Post and Raymond Daniell, author of this article, had both been London correspondents since September 1939, so the writing this piece must have been a sorrowful task. Post’s entry in our index by author is below. From wikipedia:

Robert Post (journalist)

“In February 1943 Post stunned two friends with the admission that he thought he was going to die. He had been selected to accompany bomber missions with the 8th U.S. Air Force and would soon be departing for Germany. Post's friends, actress Leonora Corbett and war correspondent Helen Millbank of the Chicago Daily News, tried to reassure him, but Post insisted he wasn't coming back.”
