Norm Achen, noted author,former WWII Pilot and POW visits
the Friendly Sons at their December meeting.
Below is Norm's "bio" followed by pictures of him.
Norm Achen, retired business executive, attorney and judge, presented excerpts from his gripping story, Go With God. Shortly after the United States declared war on Nazi Germany in 1942, Achen enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Force.
Upon completion of training as a fighter pilot, he was assigned to the 4 Fighter Group, later to become famous as The Eagle Squadron. While flying a P-51 aircraft, he was shot down and taken as a POW by the Germans. How this 20 year old pilot overcame that experience is a testament to his deep spiritual faith and eternal optimism.
