Samuel VanderJagt’s Front Row Seat to History

Samuel VanderJagt was a radio operator and gunner in a Martin B-26 Marauder. His B-26 Hot Rock was assigned to the 397th Bomb Group, 9th Air Force. Sam’s story would have been lost to history if it wasn’t for him keeping a diary, and his family sharing it with us. Now we are able to tell the story through his eyes.
