Posted by Kim Phillip Schroer Growing up he didn't talk much about the war, except to say that "MaGuire's Chophouse"--depicted by an outhouse-- was the NY restaurant owned by the pilot's father. But late in life my friends and I (who are all aviation fanatics) bugged him enough to hear the stories. He flew 17 missions before McGuire started leading flights. At that time the ball turret was replaced by a radar unit and Dad was forced off of the crew. He flew another 18 missions on various other ships but missed being part of the crew. I wish he could have been to a reunion with his pals before he died. I'd love to hear from anyone who knew him. I'd post the one picture I have showing the entire crew, but there doesn't seem to be any way to make an attatchment. Hopefully someone can tell me how. KPS

My dad was Rudy Schroer. He passed away in 1993 at age 68.
