Billy James Williams

“I'm one of the lucky ones who got to come back. I volunteered for service and went in at 21 and got out at 23. I flew on B29s from Saipan (Mariana Islands) to Japan on 28 missions. The first thing we bombed were their fuel tanks. I lost a prop coming back from one of the missions and landed in Iwo Jima. I stayed there for 10 days until they were able to bring me back to Saipan.”
