In a note received from retired DL pilot Capt. Jon Barton:
Below is a notice from the editor of my father's WWII bomb group association newsletter. Art Milow was the commander of my dad's WWII squadron. What should be added is that Art had a tremendous career with Pan Am, retiring as a 747 Captain in 1978. I knew him well for over two decades, and he is a true World War Two hero.
