First of all, it is not enough merely to thank the two pilots with whom I flew when I was on a crew. Were it not for John Brady and Ev Blakely I would not be here, and there would be no story.

Secondly, I must thank the men and women of the 100th—not only the flyers, but those who kept us flying. They all made this narrative the grand story to which I hope I have done adequate service.

I must thank, especially, the three great leaders of the 100th, Jack Kidd, John Bennett, and Tom Jeffrey, who did so much to make us proud to be members of the group whom history now knows as "The Bloody 100th."

“Those small huts could get crowded; yet by mid-October 1943, there was plenty of room in one. Thirteen of the sixteen cots were empty. Three of four B-17s had been lost in a short span of time. The other plane was damaged beyond repair. Each bed had a tale to tell. And the tale told by the empty beds was especially nerve-wracking.”

And though there were many huts at Thorpe Abbotts like it, with empty beds aplenty and similar stories to tell, this one was just a little bit more special because Blakely, Crosby, and Douglass were the last three members of the “Original” 100th flight officers left on base.

The article goes on to share the stories of the men who once slept in the empty bunks of his father’s Nissen hut, and I highly recommend reading it for the amazing insight into the lives of these men.
