sunk, two planes knocked down . . . that's the record of the Reluctant Dragon, B-17 bomber operating in the European and North African theater of war. And‘ one of the swastikas painted on the side of the bomber is credited to T. Sgt. Dick Trué, 1204 Hartford st, who was responsible for destroying a Nazi: plane. A tail and waist gunner and at times a radio operator, Sgt. True has been a crew member of the Reluctant Dragon in 50 of its’ 54 missions. His Christmas present in 1942 was the landing of his division in African territory. He participated in the first two weeks of the Sicilian invasion, dropping bombs over the island only six hours after the first attack was made.
Agtacked by 50 Planes
“In one mission over Sicily one of the planes in our formation was shot up pretty bad,” Sgt. True said. “Fifty axis planes attacked our ship but we got back to Africa and protected the other bomber on the return trip.”. Sgt. True’s personal claim on the swastika was acquired in this mission, “There’s no feeling quite like it,” he said in describing the hit on the enemy plane and its twirling to the ground. “That was my. first and only one.” The 10 crew members of the Reluctant Dragon are “quite proud” of the ship, especially since it did not live up to its name,

“Reluctant Dragon” because the crew decided it didn’t want to fly. After landing in Africa and beginning its first mission the B-17 was bombed by the Nazis and under repair for two weeks. No sooner was it all ready to go than enemy bombs dropped on it again. Once more it had to be repaired.
First Mission Unlucky
Then came the first mission . . . one engine was shot out and a wing nearly torn off. z But since then, the Reluctant Dragon has 54 bombs painted on its side symbolizing 54 missions; two ships for the two ships sunk, and two swatikas for two planes downed. Sgt. True, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry True of Johnson county, will return to the army air base at Salt Lake City, Utah, Sunday after a 30-day furlough here. He lived with his brother, Roy True, of the Hartford st. address before enlisting in the air corps. On. his khaki uniform he now is wearing the air medal with two silver clusters for 50 missions over a target and one enemy ship destroyed.
