My dad spent nearly 4 years in England during the war. He flew C-47s. Shot down twice...first time was on D-Day..after he had dropped his paratroops..Bailed out, spent 3 days in the woods, until our troops caught up to him. He always said he would have been really pissed to have gotten killed by his own side..Second time was during Market Garden..he was able to crash land the plane in British held territory..
