I am adding the story of one of the first heroes who I’ve met in researching my Father’s story. Jetty Cook kindly responded to an article that I had written and was placed in the 92nd Bomb Group Newsletter. He was a Podington “fly boy”, as was my Dad, and he also coincidentally bailed out of his badly damaged bomber over Belgium. He was very helpful to me in the planning of my trip to Belgium in 2006. He knows the area well, traveling the area during a most perilous time of his life and returning several times to reunite with the friends who helped him evade capture during WWII. He tells a riveting story of survival that should be of interest to all. It is an honor to have become acquainted with Jetty and his lovely wife, Wanda.
