Cherokee County, Northwest Iowa | Can't answer your take-off time question.
Neighbor's father served on a B-17. One of his crew-mates was a bit of a writer, and in his later years, he composed and sent out about an ten page letter once describing a couple of their scarier missions. One of the best reads i have every seen.
Talk about bravery.
Thank you to all who have served or are serving our country in uniform.
