If you were in the Eight Air Force and bombing Germany you really were flying into hell.

Some friends who lived for a time in a mobile home had a neighbor (pretty odd guy) who used to play big band era 78s at high volume when he had to drown out the old bombing run soundtrack that would occasionally take over his head (according to him). Apparently he too beat the odds.

I recommend the Periscope film “Thunderbolt” on YouTube for an unfiltered look at the Hell of WW2 in the air over Europe.

My uncle flew B-17s for the Eighth Air Force during WWII. He was shot down and killed by flak in April 1944. His body lies in the American Cemetary in Normandy. He was 22.
