My oldest brother, Guido Pinamoni, 85, of King City (Tigard) Oregon, sits aboard a B-17 airplane Thursday, May 18, 2006 for the first time since the 447th Bomb Group B-17 he co-piloted on his 34th mission during World War II crash landed March 15, 1945, in the Black Forest, outside of Berlin. His plane was shot down, and he hid for 9 days in the forest and was then captured and became a prisoner of war in Germany.  Guido had a 25 minute ride and you can see from the above photo that he was thrilled.
