My still living (at 89) father was standing on the top of a Red Cross building in London, when the first Buzz Bomb arrived.
He and his co-pilot were cheering the pilot, what they thought was one brave son of a gun, until they read about the pilot less flying bomb in the next days newspaper.
His first mission as a B17 pilot was bombing the launch ramps being built on the French coast. That mission was Dec 24, 1943. His last mission was June 6, 1944.
They had just completed their required 30 missions and were in London on R&R when they saw the first Buzz Bomb.
We just published his book "Feather Merchant".
