Robert Dubowsky
United States Air Force 66 & 68 Bomb Sqdns. 44th Bomb Group
I flew 35 missions with 44th Bomb Group from July 1944 to March 1945. I also did duty as a co-pilot and flew with the 66th and 68th Bomb Squadrons. I was shot down on my 33rd mission on the return leg from Dresden, when I bailed out just inside the allied line. That is the reason I had to fly two more missions to complete the tour requirement of 35 missions. A piece of my parachute is in the 2nd Air Division Association memorial library at the Forum in Norwich.
