“I was an aircraft electrician who was taught to work on the B24 bomber aircraft in Tucson for the first year. I then hitched a ride to the Air Force Base on Guam. It was there that I worked on 13 missions with the B29 aircraft. The planes left on bombing runs at 5 p.m. and returned the next morning at 9 a.m. I recall that it was at the war's end when the Tail Gunners were instructed not to fire unless fired upon.”
