"Ace" Haston Opens Up About His Experiences as a B-24 Belly Gunner
His Story as Told by Daughter, Alice Haston Norton
Dad and the crew were sent on a B-24 Heavy Bomber called the Liberator. They flew on 13 missions over Burma and China. His position on the crew was the “belly gunner.”
They were stationed at Morotai, Dutch E. Indies and fought in the Battle of Morotai.
Morotai’s development into an Allied base began shortly after the landing, and two major airfields were ready for use in October. These and other base facilities played an important role in the Liberation of the Philippines during 1944 and 1945.
