Ron, my dad was the same way. Never talked much about his experiences in Italy, Northern Africa and Europe, he flew in B26 Mauraders. Late in his life I found out that he was shot down over German held northern Italy, and only he and one other survived. Took them both 4 days to work their way back to allied lines. Just one story that he finally would talk about. Always kept tight lipped, finally, after making several trips to his bomber group reunions did he begin to let us know what he'd gone through, and downplayed it all.
