Forward
After more than sixty(60) years, I still have vivid memories of a World War II plane passing extremely low over my hometown of Pratt, Kansas. I can still hear the deafening roar of the plane as it barely missed my school and continued its doomed flight path to a farm field near the edge of town. To me, it has always been a mystery as to what really happened on that day.
