My FIL was very fortunate, talented and capable he trained pilots for the B-17 and when I say fortunate it's because he was both well liked and an excellent instructor so that he spent his enlistment here in the states. Still I think that came back to bite him, one flight they were out in New Mexico when they saw a huge flash in the sky and flew over to look. I still think flying threw the radiation from that blast is what brought on the cancers that ended his life.
I bet that was really cool though.
I know a lady who's a "Downwinder."
I press my face against the microwave glass to make my food cook faster. Living on the edge.
She didn't have the choice. She lived downwind from the Nevada Test Site back then. There are quite a few people in my County who are "Downwinders."

NEW YORK (AP) — Howard Hesseman, who played the radio disc jockey Johnny Fever on the sitcom “WKRP in Cincinnati" and the actor-turned-history teacher Charlie Moore on “Head of the Class,” has died. He was 81.Hesseman died Saturday in Los Angeles due to complications from colon surgery, his manager Robbie Kass said Sunday.Hesseman, who had himself been a radio DJ in the '60s, earned two Emmy nominations for playing Johnny Fever on CBS’ “WKRP in Cincinnati,” which ran for four seasons from 1978-1982. The role made Hesseman a counterculture icon at a time when few hippie characters made it onto network television.“I think maybe Johnny smokes a little marijuana, drinks beer and wine, and maybe a little hard liquor," Hesseman told The New York Times in 1979 as he readied for one of three “Saturday Night Live” hosting gigs. “And on one of those hard mornings at the station, he might take what for many years was referred to as a diet pill. But be is a moderate user of soft drugs, specifically marijuana.”
