This thread made me want to crow a little bit among you youngsters because my generation is passing out of this world at about 2000 a day!
I flew B-17s with 8th Air Force in England in WWII and received a combat disablity pension for it though I kept flying in Reserve and New York Air National Guard with 2-engine bombers (B-26) for another 15 years. Been a CD for last 80 years with a few intervals in between like the military and first year at wharton among others.
