My experience in 99th Bomb Group B17 WW2 - Page 10

Thanks Jules, that's an impressive forum, and a nice shot (A lot of missions marked on that plane!).
Hope you don't mind me posting it here?

I followed one link on there and went a bit further (and again hope it's OK with you to share this.) :
Horowitz, Jules - Brightcove
Great stuff.

Cheers,
Adam.

Jules, I have to ask, did you do any leaflet drops? Nickel raids the Brits called them.

Best wishes,

Lee

Good evening Mr Horowitz, good to see you drop by.

I enjoyed hearing you talk about your good landing in NC.

I would like to shake your hand also, give you a little bit more of a "pay off."

Thanks for serving our country.

I'm a new member of ww2talk. I am interested in what really happened in ww2 and in clearing my mind of stereotypes and misconceptions about the conflict, such as its size and origin. My step-father was an Army officer, now retired, and a Viet Nam War veteran.
If I can, I'd like to understand the reasons, if they are true, for the belief that ww2 almost resulted in humanities destruction. This may be a stereotype, but I will research this concept.

I will answer questions if I can Re B17

I would like to learn about Italy-n. Africa during ww2 ,,your experiences, those of others, and the records of the conflict. All I remember about North Africa is that it was important to the German military because of the oil fields.
Are there details that are restricted by laws concerning the battles?

On the day before Rome was bombed for the 1st time, leaflets were dropped. It was my first mission/sortie, 7/19/43. No other leaflet experience.

Jules,

Can you tell us what the Air Force did with men who had completed their tour of duty overseas?

I assume they did not give you a discharge!

Instructor perhaps, or "flying a desk"?

Hello Jhor !!! Glad to see you here. Just joined this forum recently, after Scott switched forums at Army Air Forces. I cannot view but about 1 or 2 threads over there now before it locks my computer up .... sad, it was great there, but now just an aggravation. Nice to run into an old friend here.
