Title	Oral history interview with Charles M. Baffo recorded 2010 Feb. 12
Description	Interview conducted by Kevin Moore. Charles M. Baffo enlisted in the United States Army Air Force in February of 1942. He was inducted in 1943 at Camp Upton (NY). He went through flight training in various bases across the United States, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant for the 490th Bombardment Group. In May of 1944, Baffo arrived in England, and was stationed out of a small countryside base. From that base, he piloted 35 missions including those to the Invasion of Normandy and Berlin. On two occasions, his plane was hit by flak, one resulting in an emergency landing in Brussels. In November of 1944, he was sent back to the United States, where he worked as a flight instructor until his discharge in 1945. After his discharge, he worked for United Airlines for a short time, before being accepted to Yale into the architectural program. After graduation, Baffo worked as an industrial architect for over 35 years.
