What a lovely thing to say, Calzola. France had many heros. My dad flew in B-17s in the Pacific - he was at Clark Field on Dec 8 during the Japanese bombing - and I find it hard to watch the captured axis films shooting at or down these planes. My dad was very, very lucky. It really was an exceptional generation of men.

Thank you for posting this old war footage. Very interesting.

@gandhicakes no, he WAS pro. Jacked it in to serve. Legend.

@altooname There was one time that Clark Gable felt bad for wearing a uniform and making training movies while the younger men flew missions. One day he snuck aboard one of the bombers and flew a bombing mission. When he got back he almost got a court martial for the stunt. He told them that he didn't want to be special because he was an actor, he just want to be one of the boy's and pull his own weight.

I'm assuming the dialogue between the crews in this video is real, and boy am I impressed. How cool and calm...or shall I say professional they all are. Thankyou, and bravo to some very brave men.

These guys truly were the greatest generation. They make me proud to be an American. My hats off to all the allied troops.

God pity the poor waist gunners in the "fort." They were standing by open windows at 25,000 feet with -50 temps and a 200 knot windstream blowing right in their faces. It was also hard to hit the fast-moving fighters with the primitive gunsights the gunners had. It's a tribute to their skill and courage that German ace Adolf Galland compared attacking a B-17 formation to making love to a porcupine that had been set on fire.
