Small World: Aviators' Paths Crossed in WWII-- Part 4

Near the end of the war, on two missions over Berlin, Paul Tuck encountered the Luftwaffe's secret weapon, jet planes. "We didn't even know they existed," he said.

On one other mission, escort was provided by the famous Red Tails, the Tuskegee Airmen, who said, "Don't you worry white boy, we're up here."

Tuck also remembers suiting up for missions ten times, only to have them called off because of weather or for other reasons.

The article did not, however, say which mission Tuck and Bill Hogan shared an experience.
