Flightline Fabrications recently interviewed retired USAAF B-17 Bombardier Morris “Morrie” Yellen.  Morrie was generous enough to sit down for our Living History Project and tell us about his life on a B-17 Flying Fortress as a 15th Air Force, 2nd Bomb Group, 20th Squadron Bombardier in Italy during WWII.

Morrie Flew 51 Missions, was escorted by the Tuskegee Airmen, had his entire squadron shot down by German Flak after his 2nd or 3rd mission, and that is just to start.  

Over the next 4 weeks Flightline Fabrications will be posting segments of Morrie’s interview for all generations to hear.  Morrie’s is truly a great story;  you almost feel like you are there with him.
