He Was Heartbroken And Disappointed
You see, the ship that he was supposed to ride had been overcrowded with the wounded. There was no space for even one more passenger, which is why Billie could not get on. He looked on as his fellow soldiers returned to the United States. The next ship would take weeks before it came to fetch them. This meant that he had to wait a little while longer before he could return home. Weeks later, Billie was ready to board once more when he was told to wait yet again. This ended up changing his life forever.

He had been flying above Les Ventes when the plane got shot down. He needed to decide as the aircraft spiraled out of his control. In the end, he knew what he had to do.
