I watched that not too long ago. Very interesting! A few years ago I watched a documentary of a P-51 pilot in the European theater. He said after returning from a mission the ground crew had to lift them out of their planes and carry them to their quarters and lay them on their cots. The pilots were so keyed up they were virtually frozen from adrenalin. And then the next day they all took-off for another mission. Men were men back then! I was in the jury pool waiting group a couple decades ago and over heard a conversation between a couple of older guys. One guy was in High School and was waiting to graduate and join the service for WW II. When he did they were practicing takeoffs and landings from and to carriers at Albertus airport just south of Freeport, Illinois. There were 12 or so guys that had been there awhile when he joined up. Shortly after he joined, the other guys were shipped to the South Pacific to join the war effort. Not too long after the war ended. He never went overseas. None of the other guys came back. A great sacrifice for them and their families!
