I plan on going to the Wings of Freedom Tour because a B-17 WW2 veteran will be there as a docent for the show.He was in the same 5th Bomb Wing as my father (Pilot) and might have gone on some of the same combat missions as my dad had back in 1944.
I know that they both had missions to Blechhammer (at different times though) and my father always dreaded the FLAK over that particular target.My mom won't be able to go though but she worked as a riviter on the dorsel fins on B-17's during the war at a local Tacoma Boeing subcontractor plant.
