Well, may I ask you, Colonel, something about your experiences in flying? What would you say was your most thrilling experience?
Belchen
Well, that's difficult to say. but I think one of the most difficult missions I've had was a rescue operation in Greenland in 1942-43. It took us six months to get a stranded bomber through off the Greenland icecap. We lost five men on the rescue. We got the rest of them out after trying all kinds of means to get in and get them back to civilization and get them back to their home.
