Biography Summary

Charles R. Queen

All good fighter pilots discuss ad nauseum their 'kills' and their superior prowness in violating the skies.
The only 'kills' I have are two FW 190's that
were inadvisedly parked on the apron in front
of a hangar in central German in 1944. I was
briefed to bomb the hangar with my two 500
pounders and as instructed, took careful aim
and with absolute concentration on the task
at hand, missed the hangar and hit the two
defenseless FW's.
