John A. Clark

The World War II co-pilot recalled arriving at the Las Vegas Army Airfield in Nevada in May 1944. He was there to become familiar with a four-engine bomber as a co-pilot trainee for the B-17. On a Aug 1944, Clark and the crew arrived by train in Diss, England, where they were picked up by truck and taken to the 100th Bomb Group at Thorpe Abbotts, England. Clark was assigned to the 418th Bomb Squadron, one of four squadrons there. Nickname of the bomb group was the Bloody Hundredth. He flew 32 combat missions..
