It's time to analyze some of Hollywoods flicks. But let's be real, some we watch simply for the airplanes, some are the greatest movies of all-time, and others we wish would be burned in a dumpster fire. Feeling Generous?

This is a big one. It took a lot of heavy research to tie all of this together. 4 months-worth, in fact. Little friends were battling over Mayen, Germany during one of the biggest European Theater Operations of the war. And the neat part is, my Uncle was right there in the thick of it.

This week we remember the men that helped to keep the crew whole so that they could get off the ground. Commonly referred to as "floaters", they would fill-in when a crew member was sick.

What started as a promotion for Patreon turned into a "how to" regarding how my show is produced. Many folks have asked in the past about the nuts and bolts of Warbirds, and the general steps involved in getting a podcast going. This one may or may not be for you. There's no traditional "story" in this one. But for those that want a deep look in to how I publish each episode, as well as the infrastructure involved, this is for you.

Many on social media would have you believe that a B-17 can land without a tail. They would like you to think that a commonly circulated photo of an airborne Fortress with the tail missing succeeded in landing with zero casualties. This is far from the truth, and if we're not careful we will misremember their real story over time. Today, we remember the men that sacrificed their lives in this crippled bird.
