The remarkable story from a 26 year old Captain in the U.S. Army Air Corps, piloting B-29s during the final stages of WWII in the Pacific Theatre.

Beginning on Thanksgiving Day 1944, B-29 fire bomb raids began on Japan from Saipan in the Mariana Islands.
Receiving a Distinguished Flying Cross for piloting the largest planes used in during WWII, his last mission was August 6th, 1945 -- the day of Hiroshima -- the same day he was forced to ditch his aircraft into the sea.
