Kronenberg, Harold "Diz" B-17 Ball Turret Gunner
Kronenberg enlisted in the Air Corps as a gunner on October 19, 1942 and received his basic training at Jefferson Barracks, MO. He later attended the Las Vegas Gunnery School at Nevada, where he received his gunner's wings. He flew the southern route to the war zone (Syracuse, New York; to West Palm Beach; to Trinidad; to Natel, Brazil; to Belem, Brazil; across the Atlantic to Dakar, Africa; north to Marrakech, Morocco; to Casablanca, to Algiers). He flew two combat missions in North Africa with the Second Bomb Group. Thereafter he flew 21 combat missions with the 15th Air Force out of Italy and 20 combat missions out of England with the 390th Bomb Group. All missions were flown as a ball turret gunner with credit for downing two German fighters. His final combat mission was flown on June 5, 1944.
