  The Lt. Colonel passed away in 2018 at 96. R.I.P. sir!

  I have been watching these videos for days and love them. All of these brave men remind me so much of my grandad who was around the same age. He wasn’t in the forces but was the home guard in London as his father had died and he was supporting his large family. We will never see another generation like this. To go through so much at a young age and still remain as stoic and calm is remarkable. Without them we wouldn’t be here

  Wow. I've listened to hundreds of interviews and this is the first time I've heard of a nonstop trans Atlantic flight by a  B-17 bomber crew.

  So many were shot down during this time and never made it home. It is amazing he survived and returned home. Thanks for another amazing interview!

  My mum was a land army girl in WW2 and always spoke with much  affection of the US service guys, brave, loud and polite was her constant term of phrase for them

  I can't seem to get enough of these interviews. They're totally fascinating. My father served with USAAF in the CBI during WWII, that's where I got my interest in WWII aviation.

  It&apos;s nearly 3 am so I&apos;ve got to shut down at the 33 minute mark. &nbsp;Hope to finish this tomorrow. &nbsp;Thank you for posting these Raymond. &nbsp;IMO, these are the best WWII interviews on YT. &nbsp;<br>I expect Mr. Keema has passed on by now, but he has my everlasting &nbsp;appreciation. &nbsp;Because of his generation, my generation got to live in relative peace. &nbsp;I&apos;m Cdn, btw, so I didn&apos;t have to deal with Vietnam.
