  • Beautiful vidio. My father served in the Army Air Corp in WWII - so proud of him -wish I could talk with him today. This nation's GREATEST GENERATION . We must never ever forget their sacrifice.

  • 1:58 Don Gentile, left, & his wingman John Godfrey, one of the most successful leader/wingman teams to prowl the skies. Gentile survives the war only to perish taking off in a Lockeed P-80 Shooting Star. He was 31. Godfrey survives the war also but succumbs to Lou Gehrigs at the age of 36. Fate.

  • @kolbpilot - Thanks For The Info... Check Out "The Two - Man Air Force..!"

  • Beautiful video. My own grandfather was in the infantry but he had pilot friends. Sadly they all passed away but your video brought a smile to my face thinking about these men when they were young.

  • Wonderful, wonderful video, both subject matter & song choice. What a time that had to of been. 1939 to 1945. The sheer number of airplanes involved. Of any of the big players, pick your favorite. The Americans were King of the Hill by 1944. Both in quality of airframe & pilot, in involved in the last big air war of all time. To me, the pic at 1:41 says it all. Even more cool because it's a shot of a B-26, the 'Baltimore Whore'. No matter what country one flew for in WW2, it was a crap shoot.

  • @kolbpilot - Thank You, I Appreciate Your Input..!

  • Great vid- wanted to leave a shout out to the pilot of "Rap Em Pappy" a B-24 shot down over Bernberg, Germany on July 7, 1944. Major Leo is alive and well(my Fathers' baby brother-reminds me of my Dad). Thanks to all men of the 392nd bomb group, US 8th Air Force- Wendling, England.

  • @potluckpicker - Thank You So Much For The Kind Words, And God's Speed To ALL In Service...

  • Very nice. Thanks.

    Patty's dad was a WWII vet who served in France, Belgium and Germany. She wrote a song for him which references him landing on a beach, which could have been on D-Day. He passed away in 2009.

    Look for:

    "Patty Griffin at the Songwriters in the Round Cayamo Show"
