My Dad flew with the 8th AF. Shot down once over France, and made it back to England to finish his tour.

I have his mission map where he plotted all his missions and targets.

For anyone that has relatives that flew in the 8th, they have a great web site where you can get the records and even the planes flown by your relatives, mission by mission.

There is a rumor in the Polish-Lithuanian community that after he was liberated by the Russians he doubled the population of Western Poland.

I can’t swear to this, being a Yankee born and bred, but it could be true, He will be 95 next year.
