My Great uncle was a B-17 tailgunner 8th Airforce, one day he was sick and could'nt go on a mission...he found out later that day that his plane was shot down and no one survived.

A 3rd cousin of mine was a P-38 pilot Based in England flew mainly ground attack missions and flew cover on D-Day. After his tour was over, he requested to be sent to the Pacific but just before his group was to fly some of the first jets against the Japs, we dropped the A-bomb.

Another of my Great uncles was a Navy SeaBee in the Pacific, doing road work,working on landing strips etc...
