This is really awesome, I often google random things when I’m bored. My grandmother’s brother came to mind because I had just seen a thing on ball turret gunners. Roger William Morgan was him, that was the plane he was on, it was supposed to be his last deployment. According to Mema, he settled alot of business beforehand because he had a feeling he wasn’t coming back.
