james127 Posted November 2, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 2, 2019 I had the chance to interview a B-17 bombardier earlier this year who had one amazing story after another. He flew two combat missions over Normandy on D-Day, flew one over Germany and landed in Poltava where the Luftwaffe shelled all of the bombers on the ground, was apart of Operation Cobra and on and on. Below is a link to the first part of the interview. I should have the other parts up within the next day or so. Amazing man. I learned a lot from my visit with him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dHt1Xn5NT4&t=9s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikekennedy38 Posted November 23, 2019 Share #7 Posted November 23, 2019 My grandfather recently told about how he had brought back a tortoise from his tour in WWII as a pilot. He apparently kept it as a pet until the late 1980s. I will update the post with pictures when I get them! It evidently had carvings on its shell from the war.
