COMBAT STORIES FROM World War II

Jacob Wilson | Section 22, General Headquarters, South West Pacific Area - Navy

3:38   |   Radar countermeasures technician Jake Wilson was stationed for a while at an airfield in the Philippines where there were many crashes. Maybe it was the volume of flights, but for some reason, it kept happening and he describes one of the worst here. This was after he lost his team leader in a crash away from the base. (This interview made possible with the support of MSG RONALD M. CAREY, U.S.A. (RET).)
