Biography
Until Nick joined the military in 1942, he had never been around guns in his life. Over his 3 years of service throughout World War II, he was an MP, a barber, was trained in aerial gunnery and aerial munitions mechanics, became a leader in his squadron, and was in charge of a P38 fighter plane.
His account of the 429th Fighter Squadron’s role during the D-Day invasion is now available in the edited interview video.
