Charlie “Hong Kong” Wilson, 350th Bomb Squadron B-17 pilot, pose for a group photo in Palm Springs, California, in 2003. Reunions became very important over the years as it provided an opportunity for many 100th BG veterans to reconnect, share stories and introduce families to their history and heritage.
