I miss you Grandpa (Ed Supe').God bless your crew members who gave their lives on a bombing mission over Germany over 60 years ago.. It has been over 10 years now since you have past. I miss you so much. May you rest in peace. May god bless all those who served in the 8th Airforce and to all who sacrificed their lives, body and time for the United States of America. Your valor is not forgotten.

Great video, great job.

too bad this country has sunk so low that it would not know it's history and need the likes of a loser like L. Lohann to get their attention...

@gills8752 - Odd, I just looked at the CD for the original motion picture score and it says "Cavalry/No Man Behind"- Same song?

I've been doing research on my dad's service with 8th Air Force with 52 missions in a B-17 and just recently spent 2 days at the 8th AF Museum in Pooler, Ga. This is a wonderful tribute you have put together. I will be directing my readers to this video as it is one that needs to be seen to begin an understanding of what our fathers and grandfathers did so that we have the freedoms that we do now. The score is awesome. Thanks so much,

Had an old friend of the family that passed away a few years back. Before his time came he  told me of what he had done over the European skies of WWII. The missions and adventures he and his crew had on board their B-17. I never knew the man but after that day he had left an impact on me so great. His children and grandchildren didn't even know about about what he had done. This vid reminds me of him and his stories; it brings me to tears. "Gunner" Nash - Belly Gunner of his B-17.

Those men were truly the Greatest Generation

Excellent video.thanks for posting it. The hardship & horror these brave young men faced on those missions. It's amazing that the B-17 took the pounding that it did and brought back many a relieved crew.
