The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with Clayton Nattier. Nattier went into the Army Air Forces in October 1942 as an aviation cadet. In August, 1943 he earned his commission and his wings as a B-17 pilot. During training his eardrums ruptured and he was hospitalized. During recovery, he spent a lot of time in the Link trainer, which paid off later in his career. With his new crew, Nattier went overseas to England in June, 1944 and began flying combat missions at the end of July. In September, over Germany, Nattier's plane was hit and he and the crew had to bail out. Nattier was captured on the ground and became a prisoner of war. He provides very clear detail about bailing out and his captivity. The Russians liberated his camp toward the end of April after the Germans had vacated. He returned to the US on 20 June 1945 and was discharged in December.
