My last living uncle died in 2017. He was a radio man/navigator on a C-47 that flew “The Hump” from India into Burma and China. He flew it for two years and rotated back home with the understanding that he was done. He was then stationed in KS for several months until he finally agreed to enlist in the reserves...and got his release within 48hrs. He was called up when the North Koreans invaded the South. He was assigned to a B-29 and flew 46 missions into NK.
He was my last living connection to the Greatest Generation.
