Synopsis
Milk Run: A Gunner's Tale is the true story of William E. Heichel and his experiences flying with the crew of a B-26 Martin Marauder in World War II Europe, primarily as waist gunner and radio operator. Written in a casual style reminiscent of a journal, the story draws heavily from the author's combat experience and seeks to tell the story of life in the U.S. Air Corps without getting heavily into technical information. Several soldiers served as inspiration in discussing army life. In particular, throughout the book several references are made to George Hajek of Capone's south side neighborhood in Chicago (and his many roles on Sunday night's Lux Radio Theater) and Henry "Hank" Isenberg of Dorchester, Massachusetts. The author regarded these two men as the best friends of his entire life.

About the Author
William E. Heichel flew 39 missions (earning credit for 44 1/4) as a member of the 344th Bomb Group 9th Air Force of the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. The excess credit was earned flying with flight and mission leaders, a prime target for enemy fire. His time in the army earned him true and everlasting friendships. A native and life-long resident of Mansfield, Ohio, William spent most of his professional life as a loan officer (nearly 40 years all told). He was happily married for over 30 years. A proud father of five sons; this book was written due to the gentle persistence of his eldest son. William Heichel passed away in 2004.
