My uncle, my Dad’s older brother, flew B-25s in the Pacific with the 5th Air Force while my Dad was in the 8th AF.
My uncle was shot down over China and spent almost six months getting his crew to General Chang’s lines. They made it and went on to get back into the war.

Dad was in a crash landing in India. His C-46 was returning from a trip to Kunming. He had burns on his back and neck. Uncle Lloyd made 30 missions over the Channel. Not a scratch.
