[303rd-Talk] Looking for Tyler L. Weems

[Bill Twomey]

I'll  bet  you're  right.   I  haven't  taken  the  time  to  look  at each of the mission  numbers  shown  for  them;  but,  there  was  probably  some  overlap  -  given  their  dates of service.

 

--

My Dad  didn't  talk  a  lot  about  Molesworth - and, when he did much of what he said  was  humorous - not the war side of the tale.    But,  as  a  kid  I  had  the  sense  these  men  were  at  Molesworth  a lot  longer  than  the  dates of service shown.    Obviously, even though  the  days  were  relative  few,  the  impact  of  the  European war  experience  was  paramount.

 

As  Tom  Brokaw  so  eloquently  dubbed  them -  The  Greatest  Generation.

What  a  crew  they are/were !!

 

Bill
