Col Richard Bushong W W I I B-17 Pilot - 17 de June de 2023
At age 19, Bushong enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1941, answering his inner call to service after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7 of that year. He was only 20 years old when he flew his first combat mission into Nazi Germany.
Richard Bushong specifically requested to be a B-17 pilot. After completing combat training in Washington, he sailed to England aboard the Queen Mary. Some might consider this luxury travel but Richard says NOT with 18 officers per cabin.
Just before his first mission, Richard fell ill and was grounded. The crew he had trained with flew that mission and was shot down. He also, on his last mission during which he lost two engines while still over enemy territory. With one remaining good engine and a second leaking oil, he made it back to England only to discover that his brakes had failed. âThank God for good old gooey English mud!â Richard was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for bringing his bird and crew safely home from that mission.
Most of his missions were flown in winter and the temperature at altitude was between 30 and 50 degrees below zero. The B-17 was also not pressurized. While he flew over 43 different air craft during his Air Force career, Richard always admired the B-17 because she was such a steady platform and legendary for survivability. âThe B-17 brought me home 28 times.â
Richardâs bomb group was part of the very first daylight bombing mission conducted against Berlin. He says a collective gasp passed through the briefing room that morning when the target was revealed.
