He was a student at Central High School in Chattanooga, TN when the attack on Pearl Harbor happened. He told me, "Everybody was so patriotic, and were all so mad." In 1944 he joined the Army Air Force. He was 17 years old. He was the gunner in the bottom turret in a B-24. A dangerous place to be during missions. They were flying over India and Southern China. "They told us we had to do twelve missions. We'd already done two. We had to do ten more," Mr. Haston said. "They would be at treetop level, and we would search and destroy anything that moved." He was the youngest man on the crew and he was the last survivor. He passed away on August 15th, 2020. He was 94 years old.
