My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

After the Mission-- Part 1: Intel Gained
From the Paralyzed Veterans of America 2018 calendar featuring the aviation artwork of Gil Cohen. December. I am going to miss this excellent calendar with all the realistic paintings by this artist.
Safely back home and exhausted, it's time for bomber crews to debriefed the details of their mission. The table is laden with simple items: aerial maps, strike photos, coffee mugs, cigarette packs (Lucky Strikes) and ashtrays.
But the lessons learned and intel gathered and shared here will prepare them for some of the command's next important tasks.
