This handwritten letter from a B-24 Liberator ball turret gunner describes a 1944 bombing mission against an airdrome at Regensburg, Germany, where jet-propelled aircraft under construction were destroyed on the ground. Part of the Margaroli collection, the letter offers a rare firsthand account of the 15th Air Force's campaign against Nazi Germany's emerging jet fighter production, along with a gunner's candid reassurance to loved ones about the fate of missing aircrews.
