[Credible Sport]

Hello, I Grew up in West L.A. We my Father and his friends owned a Cessna 195. The Gentleman

who owned the gas station at the Santa Monica Airport
His name was either Jerry Schwartz Jerry Shapiro a B-17 pilot or co-pilot.
This is the story he told me on his last mission he was literally blown out of the B-17

and when he came to all of his hair was gone he was in a tree maybe an apple tree. A German

soldier was standing on the Ground when Jerry woke up the NAZI was standing there with

his hands on his hips saying "

Do you have any information about this incident?

Thank You
