Real life experince for Bomber Fans
« on: May 23, 2017, 12:16:40 AM »
My  call sign is Wagger.  I have been a long time member of Aces High.  What I am going to post is a list of missions my dad flew with the 8th Air Force out of England.  He flew 30 mission with the 534 squadron, 381 Bomber Group(Heavy).  The  missions were flown out of Ridgewell England.  I hope you enjoy the information I am going to post.

There was an Air Warrior player that used to do the same thing on the old BigWeek newsgroup.  Earl would post entries from his flight log during the war, flying fighters in the MTO.  Was amazing stuff, looking forward to reading what you post.

I've read about Wagger's Dad's last sortie ... intriguing and sobering.
