My grandfather was a navigator on a B-17 bomber during WWII. On his fifth mission, on December 1, 1943, the plane made a forced landing in enemy-occupied France, near Bordeaux. In trying to escape and return to his base in England, Brill joined a French Resistance group, participated in raids, battles, and sabotage until he was finally repatriated to England in September 1944. He was awarded four medals and citations from the French Government, including the French Legion of Honor as well as the Air Medal from the United States Government. Happy veterans day everyone.
