| Thoughts on the 58th Bomb Wing: |
| I am very proud to be a member of the 58th Bomb Wing. We had a great bunch of dedicated flyers, dedicated to do the job we were assigned to do. I think we did a great job under hazard conditions. Hope my part as a combat flyer will have some reflection on the 58th Bomb Wing and the crews I flew with. I had some great Pilots: Captain Meyers, Captain Thomas, Captain Dale. I had great respect for all of them -- they did a great job! |

| Comments: |
| Would like to hear from some of the guys that were in our outfit if still alive. Have a lot of memories of the combat missions we flew. Dream a lot about them. |
