I was at the local bookstore and opened up a warbird magazine. To my delight they had a article about the B-29, then to my surprise on the first page the main photo featured some B-29s in flight. The B-29 in the foreground was that of my uncle's which he was the navigator, "Were Wolf" shot down on 27 Jan '45, same misson that Hap Halloran was shot down. Was happy to see it, but O wished he survived the war so I could've meet him

That's nice. Did you buy the magazine? Any credits? (Name of magazine, author or photo credit?)

Regards,
