"Last Roll Call - The Adventure of a B-17 Tailgunner"

  As I gaze at the old photos of my crew, it's sad for me to acknowledge that they're all gone now, except for me. I'm the last one, the only one left to tell our story. Sadly, I know that it's just a matter of time before I stand before my crew and make my last roll call.  

This story isn't about me; it's about my crew. Without them, I wouldn't have a story to tell. By getting to know the members of just one bomber crew, I can only hope that readers will come to understand and appeciate the sacrifices that so many thousands of young men made for our country and for our freedom.

Most people think of the Mighty 8th out of England when WWII bomber crews are mentioned. The 8th AF certainly deserves all the credit they have received. I do, however, want to inform readers that the 15th Air Force out of Italy played a huge role in ending the war in Europe by concentrating bombing runs on the German's petroleum supply. 

I hope to locate the families of some of the crew, especially pilot, Louis Dunigan and our flight engineer, Clyde Dwight. These two amazing characters certainly provided me with lots of quality material for

        "Last Roll Call".
