I had some ‘short snorters’ which my uncle sent me shortly after the war. He was a navigator on a B29 flying bombing missions over Japan. Upon his death many years ago, I gave them to his eldest son, my younger cousin.

As I recall, it was Chinese paper money taped together in a string, signed and dated by his fellow crew members after each mission. I wonder if this tradition is still carried on in today’s USAF?

Where was your uncle stationed?

My dad flew B-29's out of Guam, bombing oil refineries. He was on Northwest Field, Guam. Part of the 315th Heavy bombardment Group.
