I was a navigator in the 459 Bomb Group 758 Bomb Squadron flying B-24\'s from Torre Giulia Field, tower named \'Coffee Tower\', a gravel airfield near Cerignola, on the Foggia Plains of Southeastern Italy during the period August 4, 1944 to May 16, 1945.
However, even more memorable.
Memorable missions were the six missions to bomb the Moosbierbaum Oil Refinery complex near Vienna, Austria.
I flew 50 combat missions over targets in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Yugoslavia and Northern Italy.
