Brought tears to my eyes at the end. A bunch of us guys run around with a man that will we 90 this Dec. Very good shape for his age. He was in the Army AirForce duing WWII. He was a tailgunner that did many missions over Germany.

Wow, that was amazing! Thanks for sharing that Pepi. When they showed him the footage and he talks about the C-47 then he realizes its cut to footage of his landing. Man, just seeing his face. That was really cool!

Very cool. My Uncle and father flew many missions over Vietnam. Uncle died from complications of Agent Orange years ago. I was born on an Air Force Base and was an Air Force brat - moving every year until I was 16 (when I moved out). I feel a pretty big connection though I was never in the service. Thanks for posting.
