Turner was on a bombing raid aboard "Hell's Fury" that was on a bombing mission in Amsterdam, but was shot down by anti-aircraft artillery near Schiphol.

The raid was a massive one, including 219 B-26 bombers that left from Essex, England and targeting Schiphol Aerodrome, an airport used by the Germans during the war.
