  Seeing videos such as this, I wind up wishing that you could have been able to start your work 30 years ago. &nbsp;Still, what you are creating is historic treasures for future generations.

  20 yr old, poor soul. It is difficult to comprehend, look around at your modern day 20 yr olds or recall what you were doing when you were 20? Imagine having to dish out death and destruction or receive it. What a generation, I&apos;m eternally grateful.

  Bud Anderson made it to 102, passing away last year. What a life! We are getting to close to the last of the &quot;Greatest Generation&quot;.

  My name sake was also killed on D-Day. He was staffing the enemy as our troops were coming in. &nbsp;His plane was hit and he jumped out but was to close to the ground for the parachute to open fully. &nbsp;His name was Jack Winchael. &nbsp;Another hero of the day.

  Ed McNeff is a true American hero. Hearing and watching his story has been truly inspiring. I&apos;m very glad that I found this channel.

  Dad flew his first combat mission on D-Day - and one of the 354FS pilots that found and shot down a Ju 87 inbound to the beach. The 354th and 357th scored 12 destroyed of the 15 Ju 87s. He was &nbsp;flying &apos;tail end charlie&apos; as #4 in Blue Flight, and became 354FS Operations officer just after he shot down 2 109s near Rugen Island two weeks later. Then 354FS CO and Fighter Ace 7 weeks later.

  Sadly, 10 years ago we lost the last veteran I knew of WWII. &nbsp;He served with the Army Air Force as well but so much of his career was classified he never really told any war stories. &nbsp;Being a history buff, though, he was always glad to put the broader events into historical context. &nbsp;In loving memory to him and his family.

  The Mustangs painted in the black and white look absolutely wicked in the strictest sense of the word. Both beautiful and utterly lethal.

  What a sad story. It always grieves me to hear stories like this. The last remaining bloodline lost, and I bet it happened all the time. Great job. It must have been terrifying going on missions like this.

  There were 1 or 2 pilots flying Dauntless dive bombers in the Pacific who had a little bit of experience for that job.
