I didn't know your Dad was in Op MG... So was mine. He was flying Ridgeway over head in a recon & providing CAS from a B-17, faithfully named Screaming Eagle, see attached. For full story, see
Courage Honor Victory history of the 95th BG, or Gen Ridgeway's memoirs. No more watches at the alert center...
