My Uncle (Grandfather's brother) was a 1st Lt., Bombadier on a B17 over Europe. His plane took a flack hit during a low flying mission and he had to bail. He was captured and coincidentally his brother (my other Uncle who was in the infantry) was in the same POW camp! They both survived. The Uncle who was in the infantry is still alive, but the bomber died last year! I'm always amazed at how those boys flew those things...
