One of my favorite WWII planes is the P61 Black Widow night fighter.

I always wanted to fly one.

 

My father was lead naviagator in B24's flying out of England. 8th Air Force. 10 missions.

I recently was looking through all the old maps, logs and other stuff he left me.

Trying to maybe understand a little of what a 19 year old could have gone through then is just amazing.

In this 1 log, he writes how a B24 was hit with flack, going down, no chutes.

I saw it in Memphis Belle, but to actually read it as fact. I just froze.
