Zimmerdylan Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Today, when I was at the V.A. I ran into this guy who was a B17 pilot during WWII. He told me that he had flown over 3o missions over Germany. Naturally I didn't really know exactly what to say to the guy. Thanks? I mean, I'm sure he has heard it all before. Actually, all I really wanted to say was that I didn't know if I ever could have done what he and so many others had to do back then. All I could think was....What balls this guy must have had. Anyway, he told me that they wrote a book about him. And I found this little tidbit on him. Turns out.......he was legit! He is the pilot mentioned on the Skuawkin Chicken web site. Amazing! I could never compare my short terms in combat as a ground soldier to what any of these guys did. It makes my service seem so small. And oddly enough.....I go to the V.A. for PTSD. Talk about PTSD................ http://squawkin-chicken.384thbombgroup.com/
