My father only had to bail out once on, which was on Mission 120 flying with his original crew headed by Harold Gay. Sometime between mission 120 and 128, my father accepted an assignment as second lead navigator and flew in one of the lead planes each mission after he accepted the assignment. What I may have said was he was one of only two surviviors of the original Harold Gay crew who were all killed on mission 128 with the exception of my father, who was flying with other crews then and one other guy who couldn't fly because of a broken arm.
