I just thought it remarkable that LORAN style systems were in use in 1944.

After 7 missions, my pal went to London on a 3 day pass and when he came back there was a B-17 on his hardstand.

He took part in D-Day, Cobra, and actually went back (!) for a few more missions after his 25.

This guy returned to England almost annualy for the rest of his life. Strong friendships.

I was honored to do some flying with him.
