S/Sgt. Robert Anthony Graham
US Army Air Corps 8th Airforce
from:Louisville, KY
Robert Graham is my dad. He was a waist gunner in a B-24 Liberator. His plane was shot down on 24th February 1944. I think the name of his plane was "Swan's Sons," but they had not had time to paint the name on the nose of the plane. The pilot was named Sidney Swanson, and he and the co-pilot held the plane steady so my dad and the other 4 survivors could bail out. By doing this Captain Swanson and the co-pilot knew they would be killed, and they were. I believe they were shot down over Gotha Germany, or the bombing mission was at Gotha, Germany.
