Supply Officer for a B17 Flying Fortress
Ken Rowland graduated from high school in 1938 and enlisted in the Army Air Corps in December of 1940, which was a year before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Rowland is able to articulate what the Air Corps was like before the war started. An example – they were so short of supplies, Rowland was issued a WWI uniform with leggings. After Pearl Harbor, Rowland volunteered to join the newly created 390th Bomb Group as a supply officer, which was based in Framlingham, England. He spent 2 ½ years in England and shares many stories about that time period: V1 and V2 rocket attacks; conditions on a WWII B17 airbase; days spent in wartime London; and coordination with his English counterparts. His description of returning home to his wife and 2 ½ year old son, whom he met for the first time upon his return, is heart warming. He is a modest, down to earth intelligent man who offers an interesting description of what it was like to be in the Air Corps before and after Pearl Harbor.
