Lawrence E. Hiatt

Passed away on Nov. 19, 2015, at 90 in Omaha, Neb.
World War II veteran, staff sergeant, 8th Air Force, 406th NLS Waist Gunner, B-24 Liberator bomber (BRADY CREW)
Flew 30 missions over Belgium and Germany. Dad used to tell us about the mission over Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge - their B-24 got hit by flak; the pilot said they could not get back to England, they would have to bail out or try to land. They were lucky and landed on an Allied airfield. They flew back to England on a C-47 transport plane.
Favorite airplane: Midnite Mistress
