U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Adolf Wesselhoeft tells what is was like growing up during the World War II and later as a member of 8th Air Force during a presentation at the History Center in Bossier City, La., Dec. 8, 2019.

He flew combat missions during the Vietnam War in the same unit (8th Air Force) that he lived through during WW II.
