Philip Ardery
Convinced that America would join the war in Europe, he applied for pilot training in the summer of 1940, performing so well he became an instructor. After Pearl Harbor, he was assigned to England as a pilot on the B-24 Liberator and took part in many of the well known missions in North Africa and Britain. He died on 26th July 2012.

| Text for the above items : |
Safe Haven by Nicolas Trudgian. Returning from a dogfight raid over Germany, B-24s of 93rd Bomb Group fly low over an East Anglian fishing village on Britains east coast. |
Ploesti, The Vital Mission by Robert Taylor. Col Leon Johnson aboard the damaged Suzy Q emerges through an inferno of intense ground fire and dense palls of acrid burning oil. More seriously hit and smoking, another B-24 Liberator completes its bombing run. By the end of that first day of May 1943, the Ploesti oil fields were in ruins and the B-24 crews of the 8th and 9th Air Forces had dealt a vital blow to the Axis war machine. |
