Staff Sergeant Israel Willig--Tail Gunner

 

The tail gunner covered all points aft of the ship and had a wonderful view of the following formation. Of course, he also had a wonderful view of the flak. Though once the tail gunner saw the flak, the plane was through it. Many of the enemy aircraft attacks were from the rear and Sgt. Willig of Buffalo, New York had a “wonderful” view of those too.
