My dad was a bombardier on a B 24 Liberator with the 93rd bomb group. He flew two tours, first out of Bury St. Edmonds, England, then from Aviano Italy. He was a flight instructor after he came stateside just before VJ Day and was ready to be shipped out for B29 training when the war ended. He was in Air Force reserve after the war and retired in 1973 as a Lt. Colonel and as a GS employee (head of TAC parts depot at Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro NC). After his retirement, he farmed full time for another 20 years (tobacco, grains) An old-school,Christian, hard working man that did not take any crap off of anybody. When I was a little kid I saw him beat the H$&& out of a drunk that cussed in front of my mother and me out in front of a store.The local police patted him on the back for it. I was fortunate to have been raised by him.
