this is the story

A BIRD GOES ON A MISSION:

AN EIGHTH AIR FORCE LIBERATOR STATION, ENGLAND – FROM TAKEOFF TO RETURN, AN ENGLISH WREN WENT ON A COMPLETE BOMBING MISSION TO GERMANY THE OTHER DAY WITH STAFF SGT. RAY A. YOW OF HIGH POINT, N.C., WHO IS AN AERIAL GUNNER ON A B-24 LIBERATOR HEAVY BOMBER WITH THE 458TH BOMBARDMENT GROUP. HE PROTECTED THE BIRD AFTER THE ANIMAL WAS FOUND ON THE CATWALK OF THE BOMB BAY. HE KEPT THE BIRD WARM IN HIS HEATED GLOVE AND FED IT OXYGEN THROUGH HIS FACE MASK. AFTER THE HIGH ALTITUDE, NO DOUBT THE BIRD WAS GLAD TO GET BACK DOWN TO NORMAL TEMPERATURE. THE WREN WAS RELEASED SHORTLY AFTER LANDING.
