Edward Welling Stull (1918-1922) was the pilot of the bomber that crashed in the Spaarndammer district on 22 March 1944.[1] He was the last one to jump out of the plane just before the crash and landed near the Westersuikerfabriek on Van Noordtkade. He was shot at by German soldiers, but remained unharmed. His co-pilot Samuel Showalter however, broke an ankle.[1] Anne wrote about this in her diary.[2]
