Everyone my age has first generation after the war oral histories given to them by family, neighbors and teachers when we grew up. While my dad was in Europe, my mom worked in a factory. She was an inspector with a security clearance. She used a micrometer to inspect gears used to open the bomb doors on the b-29s. On each gear where it was flat in the center she would stamp her initials MGS. They were tiny letters and she used a 2 ounce ball pien hammer that I still have to stamp them in failure to open could be traced back to any part made at Century engineering in Cedar Rapids Iowa. I e been to Wright Patterson, the naval museum at Pensacola, Sac air museum in Nebraska, museum at Ellsworth AFB in So Dak and a few others. Stayed overnight on the Battleship Alabama at Mobile and had oversight for a couple static display planes and tanks when I was Parks Supt in Cedar Rapids.
