My great uncle was a pilot in the 321st BG, 448th BS (Solenzara) 44-45. Great to get a sense of what it was like. Thank you very much for posting this video.

My father was a radio operator/waist gunner on B-25's on Corsica in the 486th Bombardment Squadron and his plane "Oh Kay" is in one of the nose art shots early on in the clip. Thanks for sharing this glimpse into what his life (and those of his comrades) was like when he was overseas.

My dad was there too so I felt the same way. If you can make digital copies of any photos or other information you might have from your great uncle, I'd be happy to create a page about him on the 321st BG website

Oh I see, you are the nephew of Dominique Taddei. Very pleased to meet you. I imagine that like Cervione, Ghisonaccia might be very similar today as in 1944?
