Presentation: Shot Down, April 26, 2025

Come out and join us for our next presentation:  Shot Down by Steve Snyder

 

Author and speaker Steve Snyder’s father, Howard Snyder, was a B-17 pilot stationed in England during World War II.  On February 8, 1944, his plane was Shot Down over the French/Belgium border after a mission to bomb Frankfurt, Germany. On Saturday November 9th the Commemorative Air Force Southern California Wing at the Camarillo Airport will host Steve Snyder, who will reveal the true story of events leading up to and after that harrowing day.  Of the B-17’s ten-man crew, some died, some ended up in prison camps, and some evaded capture. The event will conclude, weather, operations, and maintenance permitting, with CAF SoCal flying their T6 Texan SNJ “290” for you. Join us to hear author Steve Snyder take us through the travails of the B-17 Susan Ruth, Shot Down.

Location: CAFSoCal Museum at 11am on Saturday – suggested donation: $15.00 per person – Thank You!  Your donation helps us “Keep ’em flying!”

Presentation: POSTPONED – Shot Down, November 9, 2024

Living History Presentation

Saturday, November 9, 2024

Postponed Until Further Notice.

               

Due to the Mountain Fire and its significant impact on Camarillo and nearby communities, the CAF Southern California Wing at Camarillo Airport is postponing the “Shot Down” presentation initially scheduled for Saturday, November 9, 2024.

While we were looking forward to sharing this WWII-themed event, the circumstances demanded our focus elsewhere.

We are working with the guest speaker to reschedule “Shot Down” soon, so please check our website and social media for updates.

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this emergency.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to having you at our next presentation.
