1st Lt. Eugene Miller (Ret) Lt Col Miller gave me permission to relay his information. He was in a squadron of B-17s who landed at Hickam Field/Pearl Harbor on Dec 7Th. Most of his comrades we strafed while attempting to land, on the runways, their planes were destroyed on the ground. He has searched all these years and finally found out what happened to some of his friends & found the ones still alive.  :salute
