One of the greatest men I ever knew, recounts his experience as a Prisoner of War in WW2. He was a B-24 bombardier and was shot down on his 16th mission. He evaded for months with the French Underground, but was eventually captured and sent to various POW camps and prisions. For the first few weeks of his internment he was told he was going to be executed as a spy since he was captured in civilian clothing. Later he was sent to Stalag Luft 3 and timed guards in "The Great Esscape." My father was also an Air Force pilot, and my childhood was full of stories like these... I would sit quietly on the floor while my grandfather and dad would sip scotch and swap stories at the table. These interviews and stories were recorded years ago when I was compiling data for a college history project. More to follow.
