Other 30th Combat Mission |
Uchte, Germany | 15 August 1944 | Nice trip. We did note, however, that our new group comrades were dismantling their guns while we were still over enemy territory. We didn't do that, and we were horrified to see someone else doing it. Our copilot loses his brother, also a B-24 pilot, today and goes ballistic when we return. They used to talk to each other on the fighter channel during missions. Note: His older brother, John Suchiu, was a pilot in the 466th BG at nearby Attlebridge.
