For #veteransday my dad survived two plane crashes in #WorldWarII. This new’s clipping recounts the first one in training before he was deployed to Europe of 10-man crew on B24 bomber . The crash over Belgium resulted in the death of all except him & his buddy, Kenneth Knowles, from Key West FL. #firsthandreport of crash. He was referred to as “boy reporter” by some friends and relatives after this first hand report was published. Interesting piece of history and so wish newspapers did more of this kind of reporting today.
