HILLS SR., 96 of Winterport, passed away September 28, 2012 at Bangor. He was born in Belfast on October 22, 1915, son of Herbert and Mildred (Lamson) Hills.

Raymond was drafted into the service October 10, 1941 and was stationed in California where he was a link training instructor.

He flew as a tail gunner on B-17 Flying Fortresses. During the last mission April 25, 1945, after the plane crew had completed the bombing run, they took a direct hit and after losing the engines, they were able to land at an emergency strip in England. He later wrote about "The Last Mission" in his memoirs for his family. After the war, he returned to Maine and joined the Maine Air National Guard at Dow Air Force Base. He served 32 years in the Army Air Force and Air National Guard. During this time in Bangor, he was again a link training instructor and trained many pilots during this service.
