This day in 1944: Bastogne resupplied

Merry Christmas Art and many more of them. I told you many of us were
interested in your postings. I wish other veterans would relate their
experiances in the same way. It would be nice to see posts from
Commonwealth veterans along with Poles and others that flew with the
RAF/RCAF out of the UK. When I enlisted in the RCAF in 1958 many of our
NCO's and officers were WWII vets. A number were aircrew officers during
the war but re-enlisted after the war as non-coms. I worked for a very
colourful Flight Sergeant that wore a second bar to a DFC. The young
officer jet jocks of the day treated him with the greatest respect at
mission debriefing sessions. Another friend of mine was a Corporal. During
the war he flew Lancasters having been shot down on one of his missions. He
spent several months as a POW. Another one of my Flight Sergeants was also
a POW. He had a very bad time of it during this period and developed a
speech impediment. You knew when he was angry as his speech problem
mysteriously disappeared when he was upset. A great guy!.
