Knox, Max J.
Branch of Service: USAAF Era: WWII Location of Burial: Woodlawn Memorial Park and Mausoleum Town of Burial: Nashville, TN
Max J. Knox loved to fly and even circled his formation of B-17 bombers over Murfreesboro twice en route to England in 1942. His B-17 bomber, “Hellzapoppin,” appeared in Life magazine after it limped home badly damaged from a raid over France. While ferrying a general to North Africa, MAJ Knox’s plane was lost during a storm over the Meditteranean Sea in November 1942.
