Honoring

Edward had a good message at the end of his stories, including a story about a rather risky landing. Thank you Edward

Edward flew a number of aircraft, but of course our favorite stories were those of him in the P-40. Thank you Edward

Victor had an amazing 35 year career just at Wright-Patterson field, and he loves to share those experiences. He sat and entertained us for quite some time there on that very field during the 75th Doolittle Reunion, quite an honor to be there. In this...

Raymond was kind enough to share with us the story of his father, Desmond McMullen, who flew in the Battle of Britain until the end of the war, in Spitfires and Hurricanes. Thank you Desmond

Louie's visit was short but memorable there at the 75th. Thank you Louie

Ralph was a pleasure to meet, and sure had some stories, like surviving the sinking of the Yorktown during the war. As with all of the veterans we meet, our time together was brief but memorable, as he also honored us by signing Betty's bomb bay.

Tom made a lasting impression with our crew, being the first veteran to sign the bomb bay door, as well as opening up the way he did about his experiences as a tailgunner in B-25's and a ball turret gunner in B-17's.

In part 2, Joe took some questions and gave some amazing answers. Joe McPhail is a regular at our hanger. At Wings Over Houston, he was nice enough to sit down with a couple classes of kids and share his experiences.
