Re: TRUE STORY-REAL HERO
Mark,
What a great story. Thanks for putting it together and sharing it with us.
Those guys were true heroes in my mind. Although I'd bet most of them would say they were just doing their job. Those pictures of the crash site are very sobering. What a wild event for Lt. Spain. Can't imagine going through a bail-out and then seeing your crew-mates lives come to an abrupt end like that.
The Hump was a very dangerous operation with hundreds of lost planes and over a 1000 dead airman.
An amazing story.
Phil Woj.
