Bio

I am the grandson of Ralph W. Sleeper who was a B-17 Bombardier/Navigator in '44/'45. I know he volunteered while he was still in High School at around age 18. He was stationed in Framlingham and flew dozens of missions over France and Germany. He was aboard the 'Diplomat' B-17 #42-102967 when it ran out of fuel and was ditched returning from one such mission. I have a lot of his belongings from the time- medals, pins, backpack, surgical kit, etc. It's a lot of fun finding out more about his time over there; he did not like to talk about it much.
