    I had a Uncle that was the Top Ball gunner on B-17s during WW2. After the War he got his pilots licenses and would fly every weekend in a Cessna 175 Skylark. At the time I was only around 7-year-old yet we go up and he let me fly the plane. I couldn't even reach the rudder pedals unless I was half out of the seat. Buy the time I was 18 I had learned to fly. He told me going up somehow made him feel closer to God. He passed away in the 90s. Truely this is on my Bucket list before I die. So Lucky.

    My dad was a waist gunner in a B17 w the 8th AAF 379Th BG.
    Flew a lot of combat missions over Europe in the later days of WW2. He said that the P-51 "Little Friends" were a huge game change for the BG's. They could fly ALL the way to and from the mission targets over Germany. Thus, virtually no German fighter threats against the B-17 BG formations. Only the flak became dangerous when the enemy fighters were gone. Amazing aircraft.

    I had a great friend of mine, Lt. Col Jim Sanders (not kidding) who was a bomber/navigator in B-17's in WWII. He had quite a few missions before being shot down and made a guest of the Luftwaffe at Stalag Luft III. He escaped during a forced march by diving into a snowbank and waiting for hours for the column of 10,000 men to march past. He said he also "didn't appreciate being strafed by our own planes" during the march. He was recaptured and sent to Flossenburg in Nuremberg, where he escaped again to freedom in Paris shortly before the war ended.
    Later he flew in B-52's, and saw action over Korea and Vietnam, and flew Chrome Dome missions during the Cold War before finally retiring. An amazing man, and a good friend to me, he kept learning until he passed in 2005. He told me SO much about flying in the B-17's in WWII. He was partway through writing a book when he died, unfortunately. He had sent me several chapters as he was writing them.

    I am 82 YO, have loved the P-51s for as long as I can remember, saw them sold as scrap (but they were complete). I was a mechanical engineer and have wanted to fly in one since I knew of them. I saw them fly over my home, central Illinois, during the war, those engines were always awesome. Thanks for this wonderful program and listening to men who actually talked to some of the Airmen from WWII. One of the friends of the family was Forest (old mind, possibly Millikin) who was a bombardier over Germany in a B-17, listened to stories he told my dad.

My Dad was training as a B-17 pilot when,late in the war it was decided that no more pilots were needed and he trained as a gunner, His plane exploded due to an AA round in the bombay. He was on his fourth mssion over the enemy ( about average lifespan) and spent the last four months of WW II as a POW. During the Korean War he was again in the air and this time in the B29.

Any plane lover with an interest in WWII could conduct this tour. Jimmy is saying to himself, “yes I know, can we move this along please”. As many here, I’m an now an old Baby Boomer with a father who was a WWII veteran. My father was a B-25 pilot, (yes he became deaf) transitioning B-29s as the war ended. As with all veterans, it was the best part of his life and the worst.

    My uncle was in the 907th Glider Field Artillery Battalion. Not only did some gliders have troops but some had jeeps and field howitzers and crew inside. The Horsa gliders were made primarily of wood and the Wacos were tube and fabric. The F117 Nighthawks are stripped probably due to the radar absorbing paint on them. I think the coating formula is still considered Top Secret.

    If you are looking at museums, take a peek at Fagens Fighters in Granite Falls, MN. Multiple P-40's, a P-38, P-51, Wildcat, Zero among others.

    This is the best guy you’ve ever interviewed. He’s a true pro but down to earth. Great guy. Clearly anyone who was lucky to learn to fly with him was lucky to learn to fly with him. Period. Great guy.
    Amazing plane. Engineers back in the day were better than they are now. This plane was built on paper with pencil and slide rule.

    Your ride in the rear of the P51D was a re live of my 50th birthday present from my partner in Graham Bethels P51D out of Ardmore airfield Auckland New Zealand 2008. Had similar issues with my hard drive video camera due to the G forces as I didn’t disable the drop protection function and it was regularly shutting down during the flight. Well done.

    Call me crazy but i get emotional looking at these planes. The amount of airmen we lost .... the extremely thin aluminum that the bullets passed through like a hot knife through butter. The hell of war they went through.
    I did understand until i went in Piccadilly Lilly II and saw for myself that it had no protection except the offense of many guns and later the beautiful P51D that saved a lot of airmen.
    To all sevice men , thank you!❤ Bad Ass airplanes and the men who flew in them!
    Im glad i dont HAVE to speak German or Japanese..... Not that im against learning on my own.
    Thank you to my Grandfathers Dick Fuller and Arch Hutchens. Both Navy WW 2 veterans. God Bless America!

    You deserve that ride jimmy for all you do for the world of g.a.. 👍.
    Got a p51 that lives at our local fbo, (also out west),. A private owner not connected to any museum. It's a real beauty but they try to keep it's existence on the down-low I think. One day I caught the hanger door open from a distance and I could see it in the back corner sharing space with a private jet. They saw me with my dog staring outside the fence. The door went down pretty quick, hahaha. They take it out roughly once per month and our house is right under the pattern and by the time it's overhead, it's already at 800 ft and climbing out quick - usually going around 250mph. I can hear it coming towards us in the living room watching tv. I usually jump up and run out just in time to see it fly over the house. On flight radar it displays as a kind of bat-wing thingy. Another good one Jimmy. Glad you got to do this! Cheers! 👍

    The King Cobra - big benefit of the mid-engine was far less pressure on the pilots in landing thanks to the tricycle landing gear. Most excellent video in toto.

    My great uncle was with the 88th glider infantry regiment (GIR) which eventually became part of the 82nd airborne. He was a pilot. The crew of the glider landed, dismounted and fought as infantry. I believe the glider was a Waco.
