My father flew B-17's in WWII but was in the European theater. He's passed away now, but it's true. None of these guys liked to talk about their roles in the war. He told me anecdotes, but no real 'meaty' stories. What he did tell me however, was extremely interesting. He flew 13 missions before the war ended, was shot down behind enemy lines and escaped twice, and liberated a concentration camp, flying survivors back to England at the end of the war.
Rest in peace Dad
