This meeting is going to be a special event because we are going to have a B-17 pilot from the European Theater of Operations, I believe, give a presentation about his wartime experiences and, I would anticipate, also field our questions. This gentleman has participated in a recorded interview as part of the Veterans' History Project of the Library of Congress, so he will certainly be giving an interesting presentation. Read more

      “Hi Gary - I'm interested in your group and will look forward to future mtgs. I am retired, live in Watertown and have just published a book/memoir of my father's WWII history. I read mid-20th century history almost exclusively. I'll be in touch.”
