The webmaster of my 2/9 Field Artillery website sent an email with this video: "The Last Fighter Pilot", Captain Jerry Yellin, the man who flew the final combat mission of World War II. In the email he wrote: "You know that I rarely "send" or "forward" any of the thousands of videos floating around the Internet today. Today, I will make an exception. This is a video that any combat veteran will relate to." It brought tears to my eyes. https://www.facebook.com/Regne...s/10156070029429316/ Take care. . “Leave the Artillerymen alone, they are an obstinate lot. . .” – Napoleon Bonaparte http://poundsstudio.com/ | ||

I forwarded this to my friend, a retired B/General, whose father flew in the Pacific Theater for all of WWII. Flew CBI, The Hump, bombed Japan from a B-29. I had to warn my friend that I broke down at the end of the video. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

My father was part of the American occupation forces in Japan after the war and that's where he met my mother. My mother was a teenager during WWII and lived through the allied bombing. She could not tell the difference between a 747 and DC3 but she knew exactly what a B29 was. They're both gone now. Thank you for sharing that link. | |||

Semi-related: My dad led a B17 squadron on the last combat mission flown against Germany. It was his 3rd mission, flown on the day Germany surrendered. Yes -- they were the greatest generation. PersonalDefenseTraining.net | |||
