See Bert Stiles, Squadron 8, Flight B. Bert achieved notoriety before and during his AAF career as a writer of short stories. He completed 35 missions as a B-17 co-pilot with the 91st BG, before transitioning to fighters, flying the P-51 Mustang with the 339th FG. Sadly, he was killed on his 16th mission near Hanover, Germany in Nov. 1944. His most famous literary work, "Serenade to the Big Bird," was written during the war and published after his death in 1947.
