Remembering my Father-in-Law...........first generation Portuguese American...drafted into the Air Force at age 19.....fought in the Pacific WWII .....aerial gunner on a B17....27 bombing missions.......survived a fiery runway crash that killed part of his crew. Married a girl he met while stationed in Texas.
He once told me ....the navigator on the plane was considered the most important person on the crew.........too many flights never returned safely do to lack of fuel.
