    Tech. Sgt. Emil Dihlmann (circled) stands with a B-17 Flying Fortress crew before a mission during World War II. Dihlmann served at RAF Alconbury from 1943 to 1945 and he had such fond memories of his time there that his family asked if they could spread his ashes on the base after he passed away June 27 at the age of 96.
