Re: Capt.Wallace Emmer 354th Fighter Group

Remembering once again this day 72 years ago when Bud's Mustang FT-G "Arson's Reward" was hit by groundfire from a German 88mm AA gun. He
got out of his burning P-51 and parachuted to safety but was badly burned on the legs & arms in the explosion of his fuselage fuel tank.

Bud was captured and moved from camp to camp.

Remembering, with sadness the loss to his parents Blanche & Viv Emmer.
Honoring their sacrifice...the loss of both of their sons in WWII service.
