COMBAT STORIES FROM World War II

Chester Reeve | 86th Air Service Squadron, 52nd Air Service Group - Army Air Corps

8:38   |   In India, at the edge of the jungle, Chester Reeve had to deal with monsoons, bad food, policemen who would chop your head off on the spot, elephants and one tiger. When the Japanese got far enough away, they were able to remedy the food situation somewhat. When he finally saw New York again, he cried and kissed the ground.
