The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Donald Freer. Freer joined the Army Air Forces in August, 1942 as a air cadet and went to flight training after basic. He was commissioned and earned his wings in February, 1944. His first assignment was as an instructor. Later in April, he was assigned to a B-17 crew. By July, he was in Bassingbourn, England flying combat missions attached to the 91st Bomb Group, 322nd Bomb Squadron as a co-pilot. He eventually became a pilot without ever really having had training on a B-17. On his 26th mission over Germany, his plane was heavily damaged and Freer had to bail out. Freer was captured and taken to Stalag Luft I, where he was when the war ended. After returning to the US, Freer stayed in the Reserves until 1955.
