Jamesgate Press joins in remembering our troops on the New Year and every day thereafter.

“On December 31st, it was cold and raining at our base in Cerignola. We sat inside our warm tents and made plans. Someone had traded something or another - ci******es, I think - with the locals for some vino. One of the airmen on KP had “borrowed” a hundredweight of potatoes, and best of all, one of the pilots “came across” a deep fat frier! We would have wine and hot fried potatoes as the cathedral bells rang in the New Year. When we sang Auld Lang Syne, we knew we’d be home soon.” I FELL FOUR MILES AND LIVED - Missing in Action WW II (Jamesgate Press LLC)

"Alive you came here to our country. Now we say farewell to you, to your new home. Slaves, under the worst slavery, we received you. Now we are free and say goodbye to you from our Land.

God bless your souls, you brave and immortal dead"

Memorial Day, -- Remembering those who died in defense of liberty and freedom while serving this country

“The explosions from the 500-pound bombs blew a number of the large aircraft from different squadrons and most of the airmen in them to bits. There were no survivors among those whose places of duty were adjacent to the bomb bay. All the stricken aircraft fell to Earth in a circular area of about three miles in the Peloponnesus, about forty miles south of the Port of Patras.ʼ” -(I Fell Four Miles and Lived MIA:WWII) Jamesgate Press LLC

A young wife dreams lovingly of her husband away at war, when the stillness of the darkness is shattered by two loud booms of thunder. She runs to the window, half asleep - half awake, calling his name, begging him to hold her through the storm. But there is no lightning, there is no storm, and her husband is not there to hold her.

A very young boy playing with a ball hears a buzzing growing louder. When he looks up, he sees a single engine biplane flying above the tree tops. He abandons the ball and runs after the plane, shouting, “Hey . . . give me a ride! Take me with you, mister, I want to fly.”

Jamesgate Press joins with all of you this Memorial Day in remembering those who died while serving our country.

“Brave and Immortal Dead -
“In the ancient years the King of Lydia, Krisus, asked Salon the Athenian if he knew a happy man. Salon answered that he knew Tellus the Athenian, who fell fighting heroically for his country and was buried with great ceremony.

“But you, Immortal Dead, are happier than Tellus the Athenian because you fell on these mountains fighting not only for your country, but for the liberation of our country, Greece, and the Universal Liberty. Alive you came here to our country. Now we say farewell to you, to your new home. Slaves, under the worst slavery, we received you. Now we are free and say goodbye to you from our Land.

“All the Greek people together with us, with tears in their eyes, accompany you to your glorious country, our Friend and Ally and Sister Nation, the United States,

“God bless your souls, you brave and immortal dead.”

A Trainload of Gold
As our skill increased, some of our tasks were much fun ... One of the early transport jobs involved moving gold bars - tons of them - from a U.S. Treasury armored train to the gold depository a mile away. Some of the youthful drivers fantasized about absconding with a truckload or two of gold, but gave up, as the top speed for the trucks was about twenty miles per hour.

Knocking out the German stronghold, the Port of PIreaus would not be an easy task, but at least the weather report was good for a change - no clouds until we reached Greece, then light clouds until we reached the immediate target area. Next, synchronize watches before takeoff.

Our allies had invaded the Dodecanses (Twelve Islands) in the southeastern Aegean Sea and were preparing to liberate Greece from enemy control. The Germans had struck back viciously from their base in Pireaus Harbor. In order to hold the strategic position in the islands, we would have to knock out PIreaus today while facing over two hundred enemy fighter planes and a hundred heavy enemy flak guns

The weather report would good for a change. No clouds until we would reach the coast of Greece. Visibility should be excellent. The wind at flight altitude would be 20 knots at 320 degrees. We synchronized our watches.

We took off shortly after ten o’clock, circled the field couple times rendezvoused, and moved out to the south and east along the coast of the Adriatic Sea, toward the Italian boot heel, gaining altitude gradually.

‘Our mission January 11th, 1944, was considered a “milk run,” an easy one to destroy ships and port facilities at the Port of Piraeus near Athens, Greece. Several crewmen jokingly suggested that they be permitted to remain behind — their services wouldn’t be needed. We gunners went out to the flight line at about 9:30 AM and busied ourselves with cleaning, oiling, and assembling our guns. Soon the officers arrived and briefed us.’

NEW YEARS EVE
On New Years Eve, it was cold and raining at our base in Cerignola. We sat inside our warm tents and made plans. Someone had traded something or another - ci******es, I think - with the locals for some vino. One of the airmen on KP had “borrowed” a hundredweight of potatoes, and best of all, one of the pilots “came across” a deep fat frier!

Our group laid in a substantial supply of wine for Christmas. However, a party of fellow air crewmen became would-be troubadours, moving from tent to tent singing Christmas carols. At the end of each carol we provided generous drafts of wine. The carolers would show their appreciation by singing another song. This continued until most of our wine was gone and the singers moved on to another tent.

“How did you end up in the Army Air Corps, then?”
“Well, there’s a story behind that. Way back when I was three, I was playing in the yard outside when a tiny single-engine biplane flew by. I jumped up-and-down and shouted, “Whee . . . give me a ride! Take me with you, mister, I want to fly.” I ran around the yard with my arms stretched out, until the airplane flew off.”

No narrative, just three different stories that unfold - the soldiers on the beach; a man with a boat; and a Spitfire pilot. Genius!
