Good read! My Dad's time nearly parallels your uncle's. Dad was from Toledo Ohio, and Mom from Sandusky also. Mom's Dad was a dentist in downtown Sandusky. Dad was a pilot in 453rd, also 733rd squadron, with 30 missions 4/27/44 to 8/5/44.

I would love kind of a picture / poster framed with these patches and summary (nazis killed, maybe a map with locations hit??) I would definitely hang it in our house - maybe I can try in my free time or if you have any thoughts lmk!!!)

Excellent ideas. I ran the

Story through chat gp. It had some interesting suggestions as well. I am thinking about rewriting it.

I tried to make a poster with it and ChatGTP but it was a massive failure!
