Namvet. Great story. And this doesn't even mention the thousands of B-17 crews that were intentionally sent over Germany without fighter protection. Most young Americans today have little, if any idea about the great toll of life WWII took on the U.S.A.

But then. Ask them about SNOOP DOG's last hit, or Miley's excuse for not showing up, and that's HISTORIC for them.

Amazing finds. That reminded me of George HW. Bush who flew a Dauntless (I think), and watched kamikazi's attack our ships while he floated around, waiting to be rescued by a sub.
Those pilots back then had STEEL...Not IRON, Not Aluminum, but STEEL running through their bodies. Thanks for the photos.

actually AT, Bush flew the TBM avenger. he was shot down over chichi Jima during the Iwo Jima fight. he claims he rowed for his life because Japanese were after him. the OIC on chichi was later acused of eating the livers of downed pilots. they caught his ass after the war and he swung for it
