"Vivid memories? Many. One of my duties was to operate the 50 caliber machine gun mounted on the armored vehicle in which the Executive Officer commanded. While moving into a bivouac area one day, a German spotter plane flew very low over our area evidently for identification. I was told to shoot it down. After one shot the darned gun jammed. It was pretty vivid for awhile. The after affect was more vivid than the jamming."
