“…2 or 3 bursts of flak were very close…” - Remembering Lt. Robert A. Mezzetti on both sides of the Atlantic
Second Lieutenant Robert A. Mezzetti smiles cheerfully wearing his hard-earned pilot wings and 2nd Lt. rank after he completed pilot training and was commissioned circa early 1944. He wears the US Army Expert Marksmanship Badge beneath his pilot wings, likely earned before pilot training during his time in the Texas National Guard or US Army. (Courtesy Mezzetti Family via M. Frédéric Hénoff, L’ABSA 39-45)
