He witnessed the second world war from the sky behind the controls of a B-17 bomber. From September 1944 through December of that year he flew 35 missions over Germany. After all these years he still has some of the original flight plans. He pulls out a yellowing pieces of paper that's beginning to break apart at the folds.
