Minnesota's Greatest Generation

Letters from Cavour Langdon McMillan to his family, 1944.

Many servicemen shielded their families from the realities of combat when writing letters home. Cavour Langdon McMillan, a 1st Leutentant in the U.S. Army Air Force, poured his thoughts and experiences out on paper in writing to his parents and brother. These letters express the fear he experienced while flying his first few missions, and reflect how quickly a boy became a man when faced with combat.
