'I am one of those missions over Germany- I made 31 missions as a tail gunner on a B-17, frist mission Dec 16 1943, last missions Aug 3 1944. But I did not have my last until Oct 12 1944. I had one more to fly. I was going nuts and driving everyone around crazy, they finally released me to go home... I almost gave my life, and I am not over it yet. Still going to PSTD classes in Wichata, VA.'
