My grandfather landed 2nd wave. He never said a word about it.
My great uncle (married to my grandma's sister) served in Europe... Don't think he was involved in D-Day but landed shortly afterwards.

Grandma said he rarely mentioned it... But if he had been drinking he would slip and tell a few things occasionally... She only ever relayed one of the stories he told. And it was some horrible ugly stuff.

My grandpa was in Europe during the war and he never talked mush about it. Only told me he slammed his hand on a tank lid and that was the reason he had no fingernails on his one hand. Also showed me a German Luger he acquired during the war. Wouldn’t tell me how he got it, but we all know how that went down. Other that that, he would always change the topic if we asked about the war.
 
Just ignore his ass, like literally set it up so you can see the bullshit he spews, life is happier.
I never tried to appear to be a victim, he made an ass of himself and I merely helped. Ive been an idiot ever sense because I didn’t let him w(h)in(e). I don’t even care, it’s fun I’d talk to him about normal shit right now the internet isn’t real life.

You sound like a crotchety old man too, you should be friends. 😬
 
Shirley Slade Was One Of More Than 1000 Women Who Had Been Solicited By The U.S. Government To Enter An Intensive Seven-Month Training Course That Would Make Them The First Female Pilots To Enter The Air Force

Severe pilot shortages of World War II led to the recruitment of women into the Air Force. By recruiting women, the Air Force could maintain delivery of aircraft, ferry supplies, and perform other non-combative functions that fueled the war efforts.

Collectively, the group would become known as WASPs: Women Airforce Service Pilots.

As the war wound down, men returning from combat took the WASPs' places as active-duty pilots.

Slade was trained to fly the B-26 and B-39.
