An interesting question…

[Chief Sapulpa]

Just far enough back to be able to talk to my father who died in 1984 more about his time as a bombardier on a B17. I've discovered so much more about what those guys went through on the internet that I wish I knew more about his missions. (35)

Watch the series on Apple TV “masters of the air”.

My Dad was a waist Gunner on a B-17 during WWII, I heard lots of stories about those missions (53) they were all bachelors and decided to all stay active after the mandatory 35.
Where was your dad stationed at ?

390th bomb group Framlingham England. 35 missions between 4/27/44 and 8/2/44. 2 missions on D Day. He received the Air Medal and Distinguished Flying Cross and an Oak Leaf Cluster. His airplane was the Silver Meteor. He did tell me the story about this 1 mission that I found out more about later. Harry Seip was his pilot.

Above and Beyond and Target For Today on Amazon Prime Video are good ones too. Lot's of videos on YouTube also.

I’d go back and load up on Amazon and Walmart stocks.

I'd go back and buy a couple of 53' trailers of barrels of 1903 Springfields...

I would go back and tell my mom and dad I loved them. We can never say that enough!

Back if I could stay there. Yes, I'm backwards thinking.

I'd much prefer to kick my dad's rear end. Not that I think it would really help. Mom got a divorce because he kept beating her up. When I was 4. And I watched my stepmom fight him to a standstill more than once when I was a teenager. She married him when I was 6, and was more than capable of defending herself.
