MilitaryIWM, Roger Freeman Collection
AJ Wood served as a pilot with the 344th Bomb Group.
In an oral history interview a fellow 497th Bomb Squadron pilot, Robert Schwaegerl, recalled:
'We played golf whenever we could...We had a little core in our group, the squadron commander, one of the leading fight commanders and A.J. Wood, who was not my radioman but another pilot. He was a rotund man, and he used to shoot in the seventies all the time. We would have little groups of about eight of us who would go out most of the time.'
