Meet Richard (Dick) Kaminski!
Dick was drafted in August, 1943 into the Armed Forces. He transferred to the Air Force in October, 1943 and started Cadet school in November. The program actually closed before he completed it so he found himself on the way to gunnery school.
He arrived in Glatton, UK and was assigned to the 457th Bomb Group. During the war he flew 15 combat missions. The longest of those missions was just over 10 hrs.
Thanks Dick!!

There are so very few of those heroes left. Thank you for honoring his service with a wonderful photo. I'd have liked to have chatted with him.
