There are some excellent documentaries on Utube and other places. I'm thinkin' that a lot of you will be interested in the following. When you look at one Utube video, after it's done, they put up many others that you can choose from...and I recommend that you do. The Greatest Generation deserves that we expend some effort to educate ourselves on what they had to do to save us from evil. Maybe not appropriate for Valentine's Day, oh, well!

(B-24 Crew's strange escape from Borneo)
Dad lead an attack of 3 B-25's on a Japanese held mountain pass in Borneo. We have a newspaper clipping account of it. Brother Hugh added some details about the attack that was unconventional...attacking downhill, engines idling (for surprise), guns blazing, they arrived at dusk, as the garrison was mustered for evening meal.
Note "AZON Bomb"....one of Dad's projects. His original job in Europe was to promote its use for special targets. They took out a dam in Romania with it.
