Major Louis T. Houck of 365th FG (Hell Hawks) / 387 FS, sits on the wing of his P-47D-15-RE "The Screamin' Weamie", adorning his trademark horned flight cap. Houck is likely joined by his ground crew, and two other unidentified pilots, on the ground at RAF Gosfield in early 1944.

@bozwood @natehale Yes, Glover also sat the remainder out. However, I believe he went on to gain the DFC while back in service as a gunner in Korea and then Vietnam.

Sgt. Allen Desailles Glover, a gunner with the 753BS, 458BG, completed six missions aboard the B-24 Liberator 'Big-Time Operator' (41-29288) before his forced retirement. Glover had admitted to his crew that he was only 16 years old, having lied about his age to enlist.

@natehale Incredibly brave kids! Similarly, I believe if you work back to the start of his training, Glover was also 14. I wonder how many others there were.

Four years in the writing. A celebration of the wartime lives, loves, & deaths of forty young men, compiled from their letters to & from their boarding housemaster, as well as their diaries, memoirs, & family archives. It has been humbling & an honour to tell their stories.
