Notice of the passing of a Hero

[bulletpusher]

Last night at approximately 10:15 PM James A. Harper passed away in his sleep in a hospital in Oklahoma. This gentleman was a Farmer and the Great Uncle of my wonderful Wife.

He shared his birth date with my oldest son, GoodOlBoy, who frequents Hunt Chat regularly.

Born 19 December 1918 and Passed 24 September 2010, James A. Harper was going to be 92 years old, and he looked a lot like Jimmy Stewart the movie star.

James A. Harper was in the United States Army Air Corp in WWII. He flew in B-24 Liberators. He was also on the first bombing run over Berlin Germany. He was in the nose of his Liberator taking pictures when Anti Aircraft Artillery went off against the glass close to him. Luckily the blast only sucked the camera out of the plane and not him. He spent about 6 months in the hospital trying to hear again. He finally got some of his hearing back.

After the War he returned home to Oklahoma and returned to Farming. The World is a lesser place with his passing and I thought that some of the World should know of the event.
