Ping on a Brit’s lifetime of tribute to the memory of a USAAF B-17 crew that didn’t make it back home.

My uncle Lloyd made it over and back 21 times, I’m told.
He was a navigator on a B-17.
He came home after the war and started a plumbing business and carried the US mail in Toledo, OH for decades.

This is an excellent story.
Thanks for posting it, and thanks for the ping.
