Re: Larry Hickey books
Last week I rode in The Collings Foundation B-24 "Witchcraft". During takeoff I was seated beside an older gentleman who was a B-24 waist gunner in the 22nd Bomb group. He flew 12 missions from the Phillipines and never saw a Japanese aircaft. Later he flew 12 more missions inKorea as a B-29 gunner. He fired once, at a Mig 15.
He is a retired commercial pilot/ instructor. In his 80s he acted much younger than is 80+ years. When the B-24 engines started, he grinned ear to ear and said "brings back memories". He made the flight memorable for me.
As a result, I am looking forward to this new book.
