I knew the captain of this bomber. His name was Elton C Rabe, known as Rudy Rabe. He lived in Wilmington, Illinois. He used to tell me “43 missions, never lost a man.” I may have mis-heard him about the 43 missions, but that’s what I remember him saying. He signed me up for the draft at his kitchen table.

Thank you for sharing this story! Unfortunately, there is no good 96th BG source available online to check for more details. 🙁
