The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force

            A B-24 at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.

My dad, Ralph Syverson, was a gunner on B-24s during WW II. 

He was in the 8th Air Force, 93rd CBW, 493rd Bombardment Group (Heavy), 860 Squadron from May to September 1944.  He was stationed in Debach, England.

He was in the 15 Air Force, 720th CBW, 450th Bombardment Group (Heavy) from September 1944 until April 1945. He was stationed in Manduria, Italy.

He flew a total of 51 missions between the 8th and 15th Air Forces.

In December 2018 my four sons and I visited the museum to see their B-24.  We thought of my dad as we viewed the plane.

It was the first time the five of us had been together since 1993 - 25 years!  It was a very special time.  The reason it took so long to get together was because three of them are career military, and they have been stationed all over the world.

From the left, Branden, Brian, me, Brent and Bryce.  As you can see, I am a very proud dad.
