My uncle was B-17 pilot shut down over Germany on one of last missions but made an emergency landing and was captured. All his men survived the war though and used to get together every few years

My mom had first cousins (twins) who flew B-17s during WWII. Both went in as 19 year olds. They were recalled during the Korean War and flew B-29s as refuelers.
Were two of the neatest men I’ve known.
