my father was the bonbadier on My BLUE Heaven in WWII. It was named for my father and his little family. His wife named Mollie and his young son, born after he was sent to the European theater. there is a picture of his place “My blue Heaven ” on tje back of his Bomber jacket that he wore during his flights.
