Gil picked up his B-17 in Georgia, flew it to Bangor, Maine and then on to Wales where a mechanic looked at it and said it would never fly again. It had been through several severe storms, and Gil had to fly celestial over the ocean and avoiding weather was not possible. Upon arrival, Gil and his crew were assigned to the 305th Bomb Group at Chelveston, England. This Quonset hut was home until VE Day, May, 1945.
