The Livingston crew worked up with the 486th at Davis-Monthan and deployed with the group to Sudbury, taking the Southern route. Livingston and crew would fly only 16 missions with the 486th before being transferred to the 493rd at Debach. There they would fly an additional 18 missions in B24s and B17s as a lead crew. On D-Day we made 3 Combat Missions within a 24 hour period that took more than 18 hours including Briefings. I guess we were flying them faster than the clerk typist could type them up. I think the Requirements for clerk Typist were MALE Wt. 250 lbs. Ht. 6'6" with 3 thumbs on each hand with a disposition of a Junk Yard Dog. Requirements for Truck and Staff Car Drivers were FEMALE wt.110 lbs. ht 5'6" Movie Star Looks and a Personality of an Angel. (Figures !!) -Neal Ferguson |
