Zeamer's Eager Beavers

This channel, in addition to my book and website, is part of my thirty-plus years of effort to publicize the story—the true story—of the most highly decorated air crew in American history: Zeamer's Eager Beavers.

The B-17 crew, handpicked by pilot Jay Zeamer and his co-Medal of Honor recipient and bombardier, Joseph Sarnoski, served with the 43rd Bomb Group in the Southwest Pacific in 1943.  The crew's last mission together over Bougainville and Buka Islands on June 16, 1943, became the most highly decorated single air mission in American history as well.  The B-17 they customized for their own use and flew on that mission, "Old 666" / "Lucy," is becoming one of the most famous in history.

Over time I hope to feature content profiling the entire crew and various aspects of their time and theater of the war, which are criminally unknown.
