A member of the crew of this aircraft is a POW surviving in Tucson AZ. He will be 100 years old on December 15, 2023. In just a few weeks this army veteran of world war II will be celibrating his Centenial year. Thought you guys might want to know about a national treasure I met at the VA hospital in Tucson today. Thanks, John Toolan, Veteran, United States Air Force.
