    Excellent. Thank you Lucky for sharing your story! I just received your book also. As a fellow Chattanoogan, I knew several dads who were in aircrews of B-17/24s but they did not want us kids asking about the war. So it is great to hear Lucky's clear and vivid memories. Well done.

    I'm surprised this video does not have 10x the views by now. Lucky is amazing, his memory sharper than that of many people half his age. Kudos to you Brandon, and Squadron. The fact that you guys appreciate real history and are into more than just selling model kits is very commendable. You are making some real friends out here.👍

    thank you Lucky & Brandon. my good friend's father was a B-17 pilot. When I was in 4th grade, we had to interview someone & write a report, and he kindly agreed to be the subject of my interview. He also loaned me a silk map that I could show when I gave the report.

    I loved this. It was a rare chance to see and hear living history from one that was there. This was a very, very, good video, thank you so much. And one much needed today to be heard. The Squadron videos are really special. I bought the book he wrote too, and I am looking forward to reading it. Again, very good. I would not have guessed he was as old as he is. He looks good, is doing good. Salute to Lucky.

    He only survived because he was just lucky! At 102 years old he looks great! But that attitude was what drove the Greatest Generation. Go kill the enemy so they could go home. One thing that historians and most people don’t realize that this generation, with no TV, no computers and often no phone! They could take a car apart and put it back together. That’s often how they got their first car!
