Bombing Mission We were in the Aleutian Islands... and we had to find a Japanese strongpoint on Kiska, the only island still in enemy hands in May, 1942! I was navigator aboard the B-25 Mitchell Toting a load of 500 lb. bombs and all I had to do was find the way back! Ground Support Missions (One Page Story) Low Destroyer At first, when ordered to strafe specific ground targets, captain Art Rudolph had been wary of flying too low where the 88mm guns could fire point-blank at his P-51 Mustang and blast it to pieces! But he forced himself to go low - until in the end he almost overdid it! The Gripper S/Sgt Dinky Malone worked long hard hours keeping the B-25 Mitchell of captain Otto Haabst airworthy! Haabst flew more missions than any medium bomber pilot in the South Pacific... and Sgt. Malone swore he must be the lousiest pilot to judge by the amount of damage he came back with each time he returned! The line chief never got tired of spouting off on the subject! The Elements of An Aircraft (Text Only Story) Parmalee's Pack There were four of them... Devore, Reynolds, Mizzed, and Gajanian... four fighter pilots taught to fly by Captain "Tiger" Tom Parmalee, checked out in the first jets in 1949, razzed, drilled, maligned, and molded into the kind of men the U.S. Air Force needed so badly when Korea became an ugly reality in 1950! Tiger Tom Parmalee lived just long enough to get them into action! He didn't come back from a mission one day... but to his pack of cats, Tiger Tom would never die! And in moments of great danger, when death snarled and clawed at these four special men... something not quite mortal reached out from limbo to help them stay alive!
