  What a great story !! &nbsp;That&apos;s one helluva an adventure.<br><br>My Dad was also a ball turret gunner, he was with the 447th BG, 711 Squadron, Rattlesden , England.<br><br>He flew 22 missions before getting shot down over Rheine Airfield , on April 8, 1944 and spending the rest of the war in Stalag 17B.<br><br>He had no opportunity to elude capture, as Mr Dowler did. &nbsp; &nbsp;He bailed and landed on main street of a small German town, surrounded by civilians and German troop.<br><br>My hats off to Mr Dowler, &nbsp;man ..... that&apos;s an amazing experience !

  McKay, i&apos;ve listened and watched other oral histories of veterans before, and this one is one of the best. The audio quality of the veteran is outstanding and also you had a microphone for yourself, which is a huge benefit. What field recorder and microphones were you using? And is the black background something you also brought with you to the interview? Again, you did an excellent job, asked good questions with very little comment on your part which allowed the veteran to tell his story in an undistracted manner.
