[Blessed]

Thanks for the story. My dad was on this mission.He was shot down and spent 18 months in a Rumanion POW camp.The princess you mentioned was quite a hoot .She spent the next 30 years spunging off "her boys" She traveled the USA staying for weeks at a time with various former POWS and giving anti-communist speeches.

If you ever get a chance to read about the Liberation of these POWS you would enjoy it. I am surprised their was never a movie made about it. It was a cross between VON Ryans Express and the Great Escape.

My dad (since deceased) was on this mission, too. Although he never, ever spoke about the war, he did have a Distinguished Flying Cross. Is there an internet site dedicated to these men? He was a tail gunner.
