Missions of War: A Personal Journal of World War II Mission

World War II brought out the best in volunteerism and Robert Brodersen Brodie was a prime example of the tens of thousands who went. He just happened to keep a diary of his 37 missions as a B-17 pilot in the 336th squadron of the 95th Bomb Group in Horham England in 1944 which opened a whole new light on the man our father was.This is an excerpt from his first mission So sitting in the lead plane this twenty-three-year-old Nebraska farm boy had some view. In my wildest dreams never did I think of seeing a thing like this. He tells of the missions successes and losses as well as life when he wasnt flying in his honest humorous manner. Brodie had a great sense of humor and the ability to tell a great story. Hope you enjoy it as much as many have.Sara Brodersen Cameron
