"Everyones good friend Vilkas told me one year that his house is near V69 on that map. I always try to avoid that area when bombing now."
Hoho, I recall getting a personal message from the fighter escort leader as I flew my B-17 towards the Ruhr during a Special Event. He informed me that our primary target was his home town and he was feeling strangely apprehensive. I asked him for his home address and told him not to worry, I'd ask the bombardier to take special care not to bomb his house.
