“Coming Home” is a piece written by my father, Bradley F. Beahan, upon his return to the United States in November 1944 after spending four years in the South Pacific as part of the 11th Bombardment Group during WWII. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1940 and was stationed at Hickam Field, adjacent to Pearl Harbor, when the Japanese attacked on December 7, 1941. This account will be part of the memoir I am compiling from his records, a project he had long intended to write himself.
