My FIL was in the Army Air Corps and was a B17 Pilot. Was shot down three times, the last of which led up to his capture by the Italians who turned him over to the Germans where he spent the last few months of the was in prison camp. He passed away in 1994.
His brother, my wife's Uncle Bobby, is in his 90's and was in the Navy. We would get tickled at the story of one brother flying bombers and the other playing a clarinet in the Navy Band... until we saw his picture in the band aboard the USS Missouri, at the unconditional surrender of the Japanese to the Allied Powers.
He lives in Ohio now.
