Based in Holland, Sam Angelini was killed on January 1, 1945 when upon returning from an armed recce, his flight encountered between fifteen and twenty German aircraft, engaging in a dogfight. The dog-fight lasted four or five minutes, resulting in F/O Laurence and F/O Fraser each destroying two aircraft. When the action broke off, the aircraft returned to base to find it unserviceable due to enemy action and had to go to Volkel where they landed and were refueled.

However, F/O Angelini in Typhoon MN589, was missing. It was assumed that he was attacked by unknown enemy aircraft and was not able to outrun or outmaneuver them.
He was subsequently found in his burned out bullet ridden cockpit near Rips, Holland. He had had 14 sorties under his belt.
