Wylder is pictured above with his sister Nola who was born when Wylder was 3 years old in 1924. Later in life, Wylder joined the army and became a B-17 pilot. He was in danger every day, flying and bombing the enemy and one day his plane was shot down. His arm was almost completely blown off. The field surgeon was able to save it and replaced his elbow with a stainless steel bolt and he eventually recovered. Mark joined the Merchant Marines when he turned 17 and was wounded in the knee.
