It's great having a friend with a tank.....it's even better when he lets you have a go at driving it!
B17 Missing Man Formation

Filled at Thunder Over Michigan 2005. Sorry about the fence in the first few second - tried to get a better footing for the inevitable pan and nearly fell over!
Just love the sound of a B-17. A beautiful aircraft and one of the best ever made. My personal favorite is the F model. Was lucky enough to get a ride aboard a B-17 and it just gave me chills to think of the history of this plane and the crews who fought in them. God bless them all and thanks to the folks that are keeping this great warbird flying today. And thanks for sharing this awesome video!
awesome
Der kleine Pupp, da oben im Turm. Wie putzig. ;)
A great piece of history and thanks for sharing....It is so easy to see the leadership qualities of Major Winters even in this short film...
I wonder if they even saw the modern cars, modern buildings, modern anything. They mustve seen it like they did 60/70 years ago...i really wish i could have met richard. It would have been nothing short of an honor. Or Carwood.
RIP Richard Winters. Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. As well as the Jeeps some of the cars in that video are already modern classics themselves now! Sad that many of them are no longer with us.
Many thanks to these heroes who had restored the peace to earth at WW2.
God Bless them all
historic moment !
Thanks so much for that.We must keep their memory alive so as to never forget what they all sacrificed for us.
Why are there four thumbs down for this. These men are real heroes none of your premier football *****. Just like our men in Afghanistan today they put thier lives on the line for freedom and should be honoured as such. Thankyou for posting.
It must have brought memories flooding back for these brave men that were there so many years before. I'm sure it was uplifting to them and sad as well all at the same time. I'm sure it was special for them to have closure on that time of their important lives.
It is sad that despite the fact that death is inevitable, we still manage to find a reason to die sooner. So when given a reason to live in a world where we make everything mean anything, we choose that meaning to live to die before we were actually intended to. I mean it, it's depressing hearing about death, id never fight a war. Not because i'm a coward but because I would never make my purpose to kill people whose cause is justified through ignorance, or taint.
My suggestion is to put some kine of captions up as the film progresses so we can glean the information as we see it. I'm a slow reader and could't keep up with your Star Wars type writing at the beginning.
Bet those Brits saw that jeep flying down the rd, they thought ''OH BLOODY HELL ITS THE BLOODY YANKS AGAIN" lol
YITKV, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video with us, the mere mortals. What a lucky person you are to have been able to actually be among these real heroes. God rest and bless all of their souls. No praise from my lips can ever do justice to what these men accomplished in WW2. The likes of which we shall never see again.
great film...thanks for posting....
@UH1EGuns Really pleased to have been able to do so and glad you enjoyed it. It was a very special day and hard to believe it was over 20 years ago now.
The Jeep now resides in or near San Clement CA! If you see it around you'll recognise it by the UK license plate!
that jeep must have some special value now !
@SuperStinger71 The m5 has an automatic gearbox.
Thank you very much for posting this. They truly were, a Band of Brothers - then, and now. THose who came back said those who didn't were the real heroes. IMHO they all were.
Great video. Thanks for posting it. Must have been quite an experience to meet these amazing gentlemen and re-live history.
Thanks for sharing, from the books and mini-series I feel like I know these men personally. Just out of interest, do the men refer to Winters as Major or by first name?
No he isn't, you've mis-read the opening titles.
@loosekarrott Yes, that is me driving the jeep! Following on from this visit to the UK, I was invited to stay with Dick and his wife Ethel on their farm in Fredericksburg PA the following year. I also dropped in on them in Hershey in 1998 whilst passing through with my wife.
@YITKV you have actually met dick winters?
Thank you for posting this!
thank you so much for posting this. I have a personal connection to the 101st and it breaks my heart that, the link is gone, and now that i'm older I appreciate it more. wish i would have listened more closely to those 'war stories'.
Historic footage! Thanks for sharing this!
@B17FFlyingFortress I think the book was already done and dusted at this point. Ambrose was using the trip to research his D-Day book . Yes Mum does look good!
@loakjoe Thanks Tom, glad you like it. Its a great record to have.
Fantastic footage Neil! I am so glad you had the opportunity to get their visit on film! Just amazing!
