It was March 14, 1944. The mission was to the optical plants at Bad Kreuznach.
We were fully loaded with Eight 500 pound bombs. Suddenly the intercom came
alive and our waist (radio) gunner, Bo Taylor choked out....FIRE IN THE BOMB
BAY. FIRE IN THE BOMBAY. FIRE IN THE BOMB BAY.....I still hear his voice in my
dreams.
