Just wanted to say thank you to all RC members who have served and protected our great country.
My father was a B-24 bomber pilot in WWII. He was awarded numerous medals including the Silver Star and Purple Heart. During the war the losses to the bomber crews was horrific, often reaching 10% or more for each mission. He was finally shot down on his 25th mission and spent 15 months in Stalag 1, a German prisoner of war camp. On Wikipedia, they have a picture of his plane, The Duchess, in the B-24 article.
My son did a video interview as a class project before he passed away in 2012. Him and all others who have served are my heros.
Where was he stationed? My dad was at Rougham Airfield, Bury St Edmund, England. They have a replica of the control tower at Wright-Patterson Air Base, in Dayton, Ohio. Surprised me to see that- wish I had known while he was alive.
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
