        "I was a crew member on Damd'Fino when our formation was recalled; the last hostile act of the 387th BG during WWII. Lt. James I. Harris had been recently checked out as first pilot, and his buddy, Lt. Curtiss Brooker, was in the right seat. S/Sgts. Bill Gamble (EG) and Walt Simmons (AG) filled out the crew. Our togglier is unknown."  - William J. Thompson
