Thomas Dahill

Thomas Dahill joined the Army Air Corps in 1943, shortly after graduating from Arlington High School. He eventually became a navigator on a B-24, and was sent to the Philippines and New Guinea. He would fly 45 missions, including one that would be the longest trip ever made by a B-24.

Tom Dahill drew this portrait of the B-24 to which he was assigned as a navigator.
