Randy Wolff, left, grandson of Capt. Robert “Bob” Wolff, World War II and 100th Bomb Group veteran, and his son Austin, great-grandson of the veteran, gaze emotionally at the control tower after walking the taxiway and hardstands at the former World War II air base at Thorpe Abbotts, England, April 16, 2025. Five of Bob Wolff’s family members visited Thorpe Abbotts from California and North Carolina to lay his ashes to rest and bring the former B-17 Flying Fortress pilot “home.” He had previously never returned after his eighth mission due to becoming a prisoner-of-war at Stalag-Luft III, Germany.
