Fred Engstrom - B-17 pilot

Fred Engstrom passed away on the 30th of December 2023 at an age of 99 years.
Fred completed 25 missions as a B-17 pilot at the end of the war. Fred was a valued member of CAF Airbase Arizona.

One brave Arizonan risked his life to save the lives of so many others. WWII veteran Fred Engstrom recalls harrowing missions and working on secret missions.
