The Military History Channel has been running a series called World War
II in HD. I've just been watching the episode on the role of the Eighth
Air Force, including the reflections from four men who served, one of
whom was a bombardier. From 1943 through VE day over 26,000 men in the
Eighth died - more than the Marine Corps lost in the entire war.

My reaction is probably conditioned by my relationship to my father, which was
not very good, and by what I've been learning about the use of heavy bombers
during the war, especially about the roll of bombardiers. It was initially and
remains an emotional one. My father never talked about his experience. I guess
I think I see something of it in the look on that guy's face, as much as you
can see of it.
