Bill Drake was a bombardier-navigator in the 68th Tactical Reconnaissance Group, a National Guard Unit out of New Orleans, Louisiana, which had been called to active duty some years before. He was a “transfer” from the 310th Bombardment Group to fill a “need.” The 68th TRG was a small part of the overall effort of the Office of Strategic Services to effectively promote behind-the-lines resistance to the German war machine by local populations and guerrillas of any persuasion. He went down in Greece April 6, 1944, on his forty-first combat mission and spent the next six months as an “evadee” in Thrace and eastern Macedonia, Greece.
