Most of us are 90 or more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was very lucky to survive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Watson, 91, recalled that the bomber crews had a horrendous casualty rate\u2014worse than in World War I trenches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOut of about 120,000 of us, 53,000 were killed,\u201d he said. \u201cIn Bomber Command, the chance of surviving a 30-mission tour was very slim.<\/p>\n<p>He joined the RCAF on his way home, fresh from his 1940 high school graduation ceremony.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nHe told recruiters that he wanted to be a fighter pilot, \u201cbut they needed bomber pilots at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A year later, he had earned his wings and boarded a ship, bound for Linton-on-Ouse, in northern England.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy 1942, I was the skipper, responsible for the seven-member Halifax bomber crew,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe bombed the Renault works, which was making armaments in Paris, and submarine bases in southern France.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was also part of the first 1,000-bomber raid in May. It was to raise the morale of the English people because the Germans had bombed Coventry and London and they wanted to do something about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI flew 12\u00be&nbsp;missions,\u201d Mr. Watson explained. \u201cI got shot down just outside Brussels on my way home from the 13th mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey had invented a new method of installing cannons on the Messerschmidts to shoot vertically upwards. We were always flying at night, so they would get underneath you and open fire. We never saw them until we were hit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Watson was captured by frightened German sentries, who shot at him after his parachute landed. He was able to reassure them, after he discovered that they could speak a little French. He remained a prisoner of war until his German captors disappeared just before the Russians arrived.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after, he too fled the Russians and was hitchhiking his way along the Berlin-Hanover autobahn to get back to Allied forces when he learned that Europe was finally liberated on VE-Day.<\/p>\n<p>Although he was a flight sergeant when he was shot down, the RCAF later promoted all pilots to officers, because the chivalrous Germans sent officers to POW camps where conditions were better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Germans recognized my promotion and send me to a different camp,\u201d he said. \u201cThe food was no better but it was 10-30 to a room there, rather than a hundred.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, Mr. Watson tried to track down the pilot who downed his aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere&#8217;s no ill feeling,\u201d he said. \u201cHe was doing his job. I was doing mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn&#8217;t them. It was the son of a gun who was leading them. A guy named Hitler. He was the guy we were after.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-IAlB80e-8_E\/T_SrIfZqhTI\/AAAAAAAAAC0\/ySKGvWzMcZc\/s1600\/120628+Fiight+Sergeant+James+(Jake)+Watson+-+Bomber+Command+Memorial+-+London.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"217\" src=\"http:\/\/rf.podcastfixit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/120628-Fiight-Sergeant-James-Jake-Watson-Bomber-Command-Memorial-London.jpg\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">LONDON\u2014Pointe Claire veteran Jim (Jake) Watson (facing forward) inspects the Bomber Command memorial just after it was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II, June 28.
