Victor Miesel
WWII
| 5th Air Force
The war was over but all the transport ships were busy in the Atlantic. Before he arrived home on foot in Pittsburgh, Victor Miesel had to endure a typhoon, possibly the last Japanese war plane, New Year's Eve in the Chicago stockyards, and a train journey to rival the one he had as a recruit. (Interview conducted by Veteran Voices of Pittsburgh: veteranvoicesofpittsburgh.com) (9:55)
