[GAB-1955]

"12 O'Clock High," I am proud to say, showed as a stock shot the crash landing of a B-17F flown by my uncle, Robert S. Webb. Uncle Bob was the youngest bomber pilot in the Army Air Corps. He flew 55 straight missions over Italy and Germany during the War and won the Distinguished Flying Cross with 7 oak leaf clusters.

He was a kind and God-loving man, who always prayed that his bombs would not hit "innocent" people, but was not a softy. After the War, when he worked for the Virginia Electric Power Company, he was at a trade fair when he saw a German company displaying ovens. His comment to the salesman was "Yeah, you Germans are VERY good at making ovens."

I miss him so much, and I look forward to seeing him in Heaven. His mortal remains are at Arlington Cemetery.

Along the same lines, a good friend of mine just passed away. He was the youngest Navigator in WWII and flew in the same theater (I don't recall the unit). I believe he was shot down twice. His name, Stu Greene!
