Susan Garbarine
war story
On a 386 Squadron hardstand at the south end of the field, Staff Sgt. Robert Garbarine
stood on the wing of his Thunderbolt, just beside the cockpit. Turning to look toward
the sound of gunfire, the startled crew chief noticed a hole appear in one of the
P-47's steel propeller blades. It was nearly the last thing Garbarine saw.
Another 20mm shell creased his skull, throwing him unconsous to the frozen ground.
