Capt. Werner G. Göring (also Goering in English, to substitute the ö-umlaut) was the nephew of Nazi "Reichsmarschall" and Commander of the German Luftwaffe, Hermann Göring.ref|English_usage Ironically, during World War II, Werner G. Goering piloted B-17 Flying Fortresses on 48 bombing missions against occupied Europe.

Werner Goering was born and raised in Salt Lake City, the young Goering spoke fluent German. After an extensive background check, he was assigned to the 303rd Bombardment Group -- "Hell's Angels" -- of the 8th Air Force, based at Molesworth, England.

However, the AAF still assigned him a "uniquely qualified" co-pilot -- First Lt. Jack P. Rencher. Rencher was given orders to shoot him if he ever tried to land in Germany. According to Rencher, however, the only time young Goering wasn't eager to rain destruction on Nazi Germany was when he had to bomb Cologne, where his grandmother lived. "He was neat, clean, a sharp dresser and in every sense military minded," Rencher said. "While I served with him he and I got along well together and I believe made an excellent team. I know of no one I would rather serve as copilot with."

Werner G Goering was born about 1924 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah, USA. His parents were Karl and Atela Goering. He has an older brother named Karl Goering born about 1913.
