Title	Oral history interview with Frank L. Maglaty recorded 2008 Apr. 18
Description	Interview conducted by Eileen Hurst. Frank Maglaty was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1943. He went to basic training in Miami, Fl. He was also tested by the army to determine what job he would be suited to, and was transferred to the Army Air Corps as a result of the exam. Maglaty trained to be a flight engineer on a B-17 aircraft in Amarillo, Tx. and Burbank, Ca. He was then sent to Sperone, Italy, where the Air Corps had set up an air base. On Maglaty’s first mission, the crew’s plane was shot down over Czechoslovakia, and crash landed. The crew survived unharmed and escaped Czechoslovakia after a two week trek to a secret allied base. Maglaty flew 30 missions out of the Italian base, with assignments ranging from bombing German factories to bombing oil refineries on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. After 30 missions he was sent back to the United States, and shortly after was discharged in Westover, Mass.
