Ted Weaver interview
Scope and Contents
Transcript of an interview conducted by Martin Peterson on 26 Jan. 1985 for the Ray Hillam military history project. Weaver was from Idaho when he was drafted into the United States Army in 1941 and was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He later served with the Army Air Corps as a cadet. People respected his Mormon ethics when he refused to drink alcohol with them. He was deployed in England in 1944. He said 25% of the planes were being shot down on each mission. Weaver was involved in bombing enemy territory, and he told about some of his experiences while on missions. He was shot down once and was able to evade capture in Holland. Eventually, he got to Canadian lines and went back to the United States. Weaver also discussed the people he met while in the service and how the experience of war changed his life.
