RIP, American Hero

Awesome generation. Went to war started by us "boomers" and kicked some major ass. No seriously I have the utmost respect for that generation. I used to sit and talk with a lot of the older folks and learned a lot as a kid. I think that's what peaked my interest in history, especially WW2. If only they hadn't had any kids.........:news:

Can't imagine having the balls to try something like that.  I guess those guy's were born and raised in a different time tho

I would imagine having your own country attacked gives one a different outlook.

On CBS news this morning they said the planes were B-52's, idiots.

B-25's. The takeoff had to start earlier and further away then planned because they were spotted by the Japanese. *0 men were told they would not have the fuel to get to their landing place. All were told they could back out of the mission if they wanted to. Not one stepped down.

Yes, I knew they were B-25's, I was in one at an air show in Milwaukee many years ago, they also have/had one on a pedestal at Billy Mitchell Field which is now called General Mitchell International or something like that..a friend of mine from Franklin Wi. father ran the experimental aircraft museum when it was in Franklin..
