John Fitch - RIP

[Tenney]

A friend I worked with was a waist-gunner in a B-17 and among the first to encounter an ME262 - said he thought it was a fighter w/a belly tank at first; then discovered it hauled-ass, couldn't hit it and couldn't hear it until it had gone by making a racket he'd never heard until just then - tactically, it was used to fly through and break-up their formation, exposing them to the conventional fighters.

RIP John Fitch (and my pal Ed in the B-17).
