• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Excellent story and footage of bravery.Turn up your volume. More than half of the men KIA'ed in WWII were airmen.

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p>This event in WWII should be considered for a movie...Wow, what bravery and determination to survive under overwhelming odds.</o:p>

This would indeed make a great movie. I read someplace that this mission was the only one in WW-II where two people won the CMH, in the same crew, on the same mission. One of them, unfortunately in this case, postumously. The story of Jay Zeamer before this mission would also contribute to a great movie.
