Bernard Nolan joined the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II out of his deep fascination with flying. Within just a few months, Nolan was trained as a co-pilot and flying the first of his 33 bombing missions over Europe.

In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Nolan describes what it was like to carry out bombing missions while under heavy German anti-aircraft fire. He even tells us about one mission where the damage forced his plane down.

Lt. Col. Nolan also contrasts flying the B-17 and the B-24, details his Air Force career after the war, and explains his work with NASA starting in the mid-1960's.
