First-person account of a B-17F Navigator assigned to the 8AF.
"...Finally got around to sending this log, it scares me to read it, I don't understand how we got out alive..." [PDF]
Joel Punches' first-person account of a B-17F Navigator assigned to the 8AF, 385 BW, Great Ashfield England during 1943-1944.
The diary chronicles his missions during that time - including his Escape and Evasion after being shot down over Hamburg.
His fifth mission was Schweinfurt Ball Bearing Factory on 10/14/43.
