Down in Greece - Paperback
by Bill Drake (Author)
Merriam Press Military Monograph Series
Second Edition 2015
Bill Drake was a bombardier-navigator in the 68th Tactical Reconnaissance Group, a National Guard Unit out of New Orleans, Louisiana, which had been called to active duty some years before. He was a "transfer" from the 310th Bombardment Group to fill a "need."
The 68th TRG was a small part of the overall effort of the Office of Strategic Services to effectively promote behind-the-lines resistance to the German war machine by local populations and guerrillas of any persuasion. He went down in Greece April 6, 1944, on his 41st combat mission and spent the next six months as an "evadee" in Thrace and eastern Macedonia, Greece.
