Bombardier on a Flying Fortress
John Keema was a bombardier on a B17 Flying Fortress in 1943 during WWII. He survived 25 harrowing missions including missions to Bremen and Munster, Germany. On another mission, he had to ditch in the channel as his plane was pursued by German fighters, which were driven off by Polish fighter pilots from the British 303rd. Keema is mentally sharp and descriptive: Q: How did the depression affect your family? A: "Lack of money". Q: Why did you become a bombardier? A: "The smart guys became navigators. The rest of us became pilots or bombardiers". Enjoy.
