While lying in bed at night, Thomas Hunt would hear squardons of American bombers fly over his home in New Canaan, Conn., and knew the types of planes from the engine sounds they made. This is just one of the stories Tom recollects about his boyhood before and during WWII. He also talks about his brother, Bob, who served in the Marines and was wounded at Okinawa, and about his own experiences serving in the U.S. Army in West Germany during the Cold War in the 1950s.
