My father-in-law was a gunner/radio operator on the B-17 and was shot down over Yugoslavia, was captured by the Germans and was a prisoner-of-war. He and my mother-in-law returned in 1986 to the town where he stayed until he was captured. It's quite a story and he was quite a guy. He just passed 4 years ago at the age of 95. A terrific man!
My Dad was a B17 pilot. He flew 30 missions over Germany out of Bassingborne England. 91st Bomb Group.
