My great uncle was TSgt Ferman Wilson, waist gunner and Armorer aboard the Homesick Angel. I remember my grandmother telling me about him (her brother) being shot down over Germany by a FW190.

Have you seen the youtube interview with Frank Adams? He was in the nose of the Homesick Angel also. It’s a good interview. Glad people are getting these stories out! There are five videos in all, here is a link to the first one. https://youtu.be/A0S_q1xgKKU?si=iv4clP3VidYwCUS_
