Meet Walt Drake. He was a part of the 434th Fighter Squadron. Activated in October 1943 during his service he flew cover for Allied troops during the June 6, 1944, D-Day invasion of Normandy along the English Channel coast of Northern France. For his first 34 combat missions, Drake flew Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter aircraft (named the “fork-tailed devil” by the Luftwaffe). In aerial combat in his P-38, Drake shot down a Messerschmitt Bf 109 German fighter aircraft, the backbone of the Luftwaffe’s fighter force. He also destroyed three of the Bf 109 aircraft on the ground.
