My grandfather was a waist gunner in the 388th. RIP Airmen.

Their bravery was key to final victory that we still benefit from.

Mine was in 561st. KIA Dec 5 1943 on his 19th mission. Arthur K Stiles, Radio Op. wonder how many of our ancestors fought and died together. More than we can probably comprehend.

I want to say thank you to the British people who took care of our ancestor yanks during their stay in town, I am eternally grateful for your hospitality while the boys were literally going through hell. My great uncle never made it back home. God bless.
