Pearl Harbor Day
69 years ago today, I was being driven back to Ann Arbor by my parents after spending the weekend at home in Detroit. I was a freshman at the Univ. of Mich. We were listening to the radio. It came on, Pearl Harbor has been bombed! I asked my Dad " where's Pearl Harbor" Neither of my parents knew, but my Dad said " this could be serious, might even be war!
One year later. I was in the air corp, beginning my training that led to becoming a first pilot on B-24s, and flying 27 sorties over Germany and other targets until the war in europe ended.
