I flew on a B-17 last Sunday - I won the ride in a raffle!

18. I Have A DVD That Has The Last Mission Of The Belle

I have a DVD that has the film of the Belle's last mission. It is 45 minutes long and it really hits hard. That film includes the audio chatter while they are under attack after their mission. It is as real as being in the plane itself. And very few crew made their 25 missions before they could be essentially retired.

Too bad that such footage cannot be shown in our schools. So many Americans are ignorant of what WWII was really like. And the best series about the war was "Victory At Sea". You really understand how the USA and its manufacturing base at the time pretty much supplied the war material for just about all of our allies. And yet we were able to win the Pacific theater almost all on our own on top of that.

Now we have pretty much given all that to the Chinese communists. And Romney would have killed GM which made our tanks and heavy vehicles. Too bad we don't play that meme against him and the GOP. Today we would lose such a war.
