Stories of a B-17 Bomber Pilot
by Dewayne "Ben" Bennett
In Ben's own words: "I flew combat in the 384th bombardment group in the 545th squadron out of Grafton Underwood, England. Some of these stories have added humor and some reflect the true combat situations. My name is Dewayne "Ben" Bennett and I'm the author of this little endeavor for which I'm very proud. I became known and answer to the name of "The Squawkin' Chicken Skipper" because the name of our B-17 airplane was the "Squawkin Chicken." Along with my crew we flew 31 combat missions over the war-torn countries of Germany, France, Belgium, Holland, and Poland. Thankfully we all survived"
