Terry Camp went from being a shy, skinny kid from San Antonio who wondered what he wanted to do with his life, to being an engineer/gunner aboard a B-17 bomber, one of the famed Flying Fortresses of World War II. After his plane was shot down, he spent nine months in a German POW camp, and two months on the infamous Black March near the end of the war. This kindly, self-effacing man then went on with his life, sharing with other members of the "Greatest Generation" such experiences as being the first in his family to go to college, thanks to the G.I. Bill, marriage, children, divorce, remarriage, and a lifelong job with a major corporation. In Camp's case it was one that built the creatures he loved: airplanes.
