The B-24 Liberator in the China-Burma Theater - Al Pisenti

Join us Wednesday evening January 20, 2010 to hear first hand from WWII veteran and Pacific Coast Air Museum member Al Pisenti as he shares his experiences flying in the B-24 in the theater often over looked by history books. All the support for this group had to be airlifted over the Himalayas – referred to as “Flying the Hump.”

Al joined the US Army Air Force in May 1942 and served until September 1945. He resides in Santa Rosa with his wife Sharon. His daughter and her family live in Oregon and his son and family live in Santa Rosa. He is a grandfather and a great grandfather of three as well.

You may remember Al was the recipient of one of our membership meeting raffle drawings last spring that ironically awarded him a ride on a B-24 re-positioning flight after a group of war birds visited Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport. That flight occurred 64 years after his last flight in the Liberator and his experience was covered in the Press Democrat.
