![]() After flying a number of missions with "Little Rollo," it wasn't long before we would fly her in one of the most famous missions of the 446th Bomb group. On June 6, 1944, the 446th bomb group would lead the Eighth Air Force across the channel towards the beaches on the French coast for the invasion of France. This mission was known as D-Day.
History was in the making and I, just a 19 year old kid, was seeing it from 15,000 feet in a B-24 bomber. This is a day I would never forget. I thank God that I was in the air and not on the ground that day as many brave men were lost. |
