I worked with a guy 'Bob' for several years back in the early 90's. He was a draftsman. He was very small, maybe 5'3" and the nicest guy you could ever meet. He died about 10 years ago and my father made an offhand comment that his obituary made note of his many WWI decorations. What? Well, it turns out he had been a tailgunner in B-17 and had flown many missions over Germany and had over 30 takedowns to his credit. Never knew it when he was alive, I wish I had know so I could have thanked him and maybe heard a few stories.
