[Northern Yankee]

My dad served as a B-29 pilot out of Guam during the second World War.

Flew many night time missions over Japan. I learned more about the Pacific Theater from my father than any book I've ever read.

My dad was a B26 gunner who completed a tour flying out of North Africa and volunteered to go to the PTO and flew missions out of Okinawa.

He dropped some of the last warning leaflets (warning that something big was coming) over Japan before the drop on Hiroshima.

I can imagine. I'd have been scared to death if I was him, though.
