From the dust of Southern Arizona and the canyons of Old Mexico to the jungles and seas of the South Pacific, the life of Howard Leon Whetten is a testament to how ordinary lives can rise to extraordinary moments. Born into hardship, raised on hard work and faith, Leon stepped from farm fields into the tailgun of a B-24 bomber during World War II.On his very first bombing mission, fate plunged him and his crew into the midnight waters off the Solomon Islands—an ordeal that tested his courage, his faith, and his will to survive. What followed was not just survival, but a series of miraculous occurances, rescues and providential encounters that defied coincidence.This is the remarkable story of an ordinary man who lived through extraordinary times, proving that even in the darkest hours, faith, resilience, and unseen hands can turn near tragedy into enduring legacy.PeopleHoward Leon Whetten, B-24 Bomber Assistant Radio Operator & Tail GunnerKeith Mason, 460th Bomb Group PilotAbraham Wald, Polish Immigrant & Jewish Mathematician Russell BrunsonAdmiral Isoroku YamamotoArmy Air CorpU.S. Naval IntelligenceJapanesePolishU.S. MarinesHeavenly FatherJesus ChristMormon2nd Lieutenant Lord, B-24 Bomber Pilot2nd Lieutenant Radford, B-24 Bomber co-Pilot2nd Lieutenant Roark, B-24 Bomber Navigator2nd Lieutenant Potter, B-24 Bomber BombadierEd Semick, B-24 Bomber Engineer & Nose Turret GunnerRobert Chapman (Chappy), B-24 Bomber Radio OperatorClaude Meyers, B-24 Bomber Side GunnerHarold Ewing, B-24 Bomber Side GunnerKenneth Winham, B-24 Bomber GunnerFrankenstein Orson WellsJack Benny, The Jello ProgramBob Hope, Pepsodent ShowLocationsArizonaMexicoNew MexicoPearl HarborColumbia UniversityEastern Europe PolandSouth PacificGuadalcanal Henderson Field, Guadalcanal Kukum Field, Guadalcanal Bougainville IslandHoniara Golf CourseJapanLunga Point, Guadalcanal Solomon IslandsUnited States of America Support the show🕵️‍♂️ Find me at https://www.FamilyHistoryDrama.com📧 Email me at [email protected]🐦 Tweet the Podcast @FamilyHistoryFMGenerational Healing Through Family HistoryMemories Are Passed Through DNA From Your Grandparents, Say Scientistshttps://www.buzzworthy.com/memories-dna-grandparents/Sound Credits: https://freesound.org INSTAGRAM:@[email protected]
