so we did not end up in Camp Grant Illinois that’s up my Rockford 

00:02:50

that’s been a few days in a year symbol two bunch of people to go to basic training 

well during the time at Camp Grant we had a battery of tests to take to see 

take to see what you might be able to do for the government LDR mean in the military fight ever 

handsome men even though I think got drafted in and then to the Navy River Seine there but I’m 

the time where they wanted people for tank or the met 

the medics or the Air Force well I was just had a 

great education and prior to ww2 you had to be a high school graduate to get an Air Force 

00:03:25

Philip my job I would never make the Air Force why didn’t want to 

what can I take so I put in tanker for my first choice and the Air Force Army Air Corps

I want to do on an airplane so I try to join them as a gun or something 

something like that but it wouldn’t let me because when I pass TEAS test in Chicago Rockford 

Rockford I’ve been made I got 98 on my arm 

Automotive exam cause I worked on cars before City and understand 

this and that in the CC camp Sibert on truck for 6 months so anyway 

I couldn’t go anywhere so I headed up after my basic training 

00:04:35

fibrous then we went to Jefferson Barracks Missouri that was for overseas training

can handle kind of gun we went to go squirrel hunting rabbit hunting pheasant on all around 

Epson years ago you could go and find a stuffed and you know 

you get extra food that way by eating a rabbit as offensive and we did that for

left there in February I believe in early February 

43 from st. Louis in German the cross on transit route train 

Fort Lawton washing thats right closest Seattle 

so I stayed around their profile and I got the 

very high fever one day one Saturday nights 

the next morning I woke up on this high fever and the only reason people weren’t so you don’t need to go 

00:05:45

girls at doctors you just trying to do for a funeral everybody saying do you want you 

what you’re told to do or what to do but there was a way with me so I went to the doctors on my own 

put me in the hospital for 10 days with a very high fever and 

and back then I say that penicillin was not know that the sum of the medicine they give you 

and I finally got to their comeback Inn on 18th of March

British ship there and it was about five thousand men on that ship altogether 

and we’re all the men of the Air Force the army airforce know some of them are different 

00:06:55

fuel filter cap right back of his head about listening foot away and fuel 

FuelBand running out this hundred thirty octane fuel high octane gasoline 

very explosive Anderson some engineers are working on the side of the runway 

San Diego sand and I saw the airplane do this cuz you know

cutting it goes when it was made into a sign that hit all his weight on it song 

found out on the ground found it hurt him anything cuz it was right there 

how to put in the ground upside down like that cause a tail in the soul it off the ground 

00:16:15

anybody that afternoon eat after he had to go pick another flight they don’t let them 

don’t let them just stand around think about what happened to make him go when there not another airplane ride away 

are they lose their nerve to fly in the afternoon he came down 

and tell her little major major bedhead 32 years 

servicemen major trade a tracer be calling Dick Tracy when he wasn’t around 

anyway he knew he was an old 32 year old 

military man that knew it all but anyway that afternoon this captain countdown 

00:16:50

Sargent to save my life really call me if he says I want him to 

run around me this afternoon if you don’t care in a fifth of whiskey we didn’t get drunk but we did 

did Drake say about it anyway I didn’t get any recognition for that 

assessing your daily work you know that’s part of your job but if I have been 

how to bend a boy where can i order over somebody lied I got a ribbon for that but I didn’t 

I didn’t get many ribbons during ww2 that was just another part of my days work 

they figured it and it happens later on after the war of a sentence 

00:17:25

Duluth Minnesota I save an airplane there but I didn’t get into recognition Ford 

let my job anyway after that maybe we moved up to do 

different quarters of Pacifica Hudson long to run away 

and the first Sunday I think of is 4424 was on takeoff 

take off raid to go to Japan norleans Japan live at 12 minute flights 

and I don’t know maybe number 3 or 4 on takeoff he lost control the airplane 

airplane the Christ and to other part airplanes on a building a small 

00:18:00

small closet ideas of evacuation building for guys going back faces 

it’s going to like their baby or Medical Leave Act so the term felon 

fell on the ground about 150 200 feet away really wasn’t that hard since thats why 

that’s why I rent an airplane define alarm have a crosswind landing crosswind 

west southwest and the Beast to build buildings up 

what up there when the parent control airplane 252 crosswind 

but I ain’t got that there’s a building they broke the cross wind up credit affect him 

00:18:35

any pulled over to the left and right of these parked airplanes and anyway 

when the airplane landed on this is a private Butthead of wheels coming up its head 

habitat time so about 10 minutes after eating 

the 500 pound bomb detonated it dropped out of Bombay shackle and detonated 

when I put the bottles in there and they put a detonator in the end of it to have a wire 

whats up to the Bombay wraps so 1 at bottom leaves a wire pool 

 

00:19:10

red blood cell right on the nose and blow it up and killed everybody on an airplane 

the pilot and the tail gunner and I had the privilege of helping clean up the mess 

the next morning on a Sunday morning I find mens hands in gloves 

and feet with shoes on them and they just realized something you don’t want to see I could 

do I couldn’t eat for 2 days and then vomit 

hit it split into a what we call the generator housing in the place they had a generator 

generator for runway lights and the boy that run out he was out on the runway 

00:19:45

wake a lot at 90 feet away and he started it when it happens 

is building ear and toward the airplane about that time the bomb went off in heat 

when he got killed from concussion out there anybody in the airplane 

what is how close to buzz and I visit on their plan way Atlanta David 

there was a little rich on the left side of it about 50 feet away and this went down into 

I’m going down in that section 

section on airplane when I found them days 

00:20:20

Jay Z 9mm 

the winner is that was this more work 

work that I don’t work I did and I was on a salvage rebuilt on airplanes 

on the fire crash crew cuz when I first got therapy has a billion 

cheap heels on the main side of the island that is a mile away from 

away from us so anytime we had a crash or as I will have a pickup truck and trailer 

trailer with just fire extinguishers anorexia one truck service 

00:20:55

search water for the beta for our area you know just got water on the lake but it had music 

music 500 gallons of water on all the time it mean to have it to fight fires 

fart many fires is a different airplane crashes in that when they cry so pretty dangerous stuff 

still into you get a deactivated the batteries out then guns 

disdus arms and all that stuff so this one time 

10445 s working out 

does a Freightliner anything and a hammer have a hangover but then do it big on a big wooden hangers 

00:21:30

Corps of Engineers build a guest parking in there one day in this B 20 

224 come in and a generator run way to have some heavy 8085 Bank 

where the couple little Antanas all for the final approach for these airplanes cause Amell 

most of the time in the summer at Shemya the farm 

how far was real heavy I’m in if I stay for Daisy when you see the Sun is just had heavy 

I have a phone but he made of Pasadena come back around did Lambert 

he took the right main landing gear on the waitlist big Dean’s Santa Ana 

00:22:05

the right one was collapsing that drugs airplane and made a big you turn 

weather radio channel is headed toward the DLAB silhouette come in and what 

it runs off the runway in a ditch for the 

 

water and about 6 foot wide and a wing tip dart bank 

little higher about the ditch at the same time. One else is getting 

00:22:40

does getting ready to get out of the airplane right back of a pilot and he said there’s a hatchback 

back there about 2012 foot wide maybe free footlong December curved 

how to set the kiss and tell him he’s up there and get out the wingtip hit the dirt Bank 

back the number to Angela still turn on and when its made the sudden stop 

who flew into the right number 2 engine propeller well I’m done 

I’m down there fighting for her and that was the fire chief finally got over there 

why we have as far as soon as it when their playing price of fuel line came loose and cut 

00:23:15

Bangkok fire and gasoline was running out the wings right on top of that water and fire is on 

Arizona water and Weaver sucking water out right on fire 

how to put the fire out and she’s got diarrhea 

 

so if you don’t have the feelings you don’t have a fire you take something away action 

Arvada ever anyway I’m up on top of the wind that B 24 everything’s alright 

girl wet and I slipped off the back side and the land in the water 

00:23:50

finally but I haven’t went got killed on the airplane but that was a crazy 

Botanicare playing with notch rebuildable is broken too and all that stuff in the fire 

00:24:25

40 foot high when they block and have 2 box long to keep the wall 

if the water is the weather up there was so bad in the Bering Sea Bass O’Reilly 

review bending over watch these programs like the patience lead up there now in the 

how they’ve been on the waves in the Bering Sea 

00:25:00

anyways there’s a big storm, and tours at breakwater down that’s how bad 

how bad to wire a 4 but in the meantime I have is on the mainline recuperation 

glow in November 1944 lot of people didn’t want to take it because it was a 

Effect of rotation date will the RCO

00:26:45

so I saw that airplane landed I asked for sons I said can you give me that male boy 

boy drives a jeep take me down there so I can get back to shimmy a cause I don’t want to be a parent to cancer 

I went down to the shore 

so I’m we get up and we get the fog and that you could see the island 

Fox sets in real quick so we couldn’t see it when I got first 

first got over there so I always think about this airplane gonna crash like the wanted 

what did before I went to bed so anyway we got 

00:27:20

we got there and then I fall credit nothing made a perfect landing planes go 

going away out of fear how to show me her they bomb Japan and northern 

Japan in the Korea Islands when they ring fix up a b24 with a larger 

largest oil tanks on and everything after photo recon job 

root down MS out 24 hours does it have 

should have Bombay fuel tanks and didn’t have any bombs taking pictures and everybody was worried 

lost and it really was a tumor show air born in 24 hours 100 

00:27:55

that one but not landing so I just went down there we had wondering 

10 and down there was a zero scope after shutting 

53 engine oil cooler around with deposit didn’t want to shut that engine 

engine off just have to because it be just got a dead engine they’re all going to rid of gang up on him 

so I let it when mail the engine in the winter 

call the windmill the engine on a trip turning over but it wouldn’t have any power 

so finally it was just ran out of oil tits strips and me dream dictionary 

00:28:30

Arizona prop to the engine in it when men all the way back but the engine doesn’t turn 

running then it was so bad that I went into propeller 

the cowling on the leading edge of Fortune should never hit a normal time but that’s how bad but anyway 

but anyway the pilot and copilot both got shot pretty bad on a flight engineer 

there was a tech sergeant a guy that knows more about the airplane anybody else is in charge 

charge of the maintenance on it on the ground and in the air anyway he got down there 

down out of his after I got all the combat area he got down and gunpowder 

00:29:05

Shamia I forget how many hours at Tripler something when they got shot up bad 

but he landed at 2 so I enlisted man could fly an airplane 

what happened if they didn’t make it back real Italian boss of the time I 

why I would have to set up at nights with a mission lets chill out and 

wake me get the word with weight and weight can a clock at night maybe we get a call 

call and we wouldn’t have any runway lights on to I knew there was about ready to come in 

00:29:40

10089 to get a call if you’re out 15 minutes away 

all the way in never hear that airplane again 

gas land in the Bering Sea or the North Pacific and you never find anything 

 

bailed out the red in a raft most likely what they died for 10:34 a.m. 

cold weather the water is so cold up there 

mini of that way b24 b25 

00:30:15

yes that someone would get to shut up and crippled up bad they had a business 

business deal with Russia that they could fly into Russia and the intern

moreless act like they were prisoners of war from what I could read here back then they never come 

ever come back to the house we were wrong they were relieved after the war but that’s how Russia 

people that during the war we were still there in me 

00:30:50

even after that I state I went back into service after I got out
