This sounds great, but unfortunately my old OpSys is not accepted by ANY

per line, my machine auto-changed to "Plain Text" to go out.

Amazing story/film - you will enjoy this!
Great Story !!
An 18 year-old just out of high school was trained to take pictures of damage
done to German targets by B-17's. He flew in a British Spitfire fitted with extra
fuel tanks where the guns were. In other words, he flew over Germany unarmed…
WWII American Spitfire Pilot…
This is probably one of the best WWII film clips out there. Stored for 61
years in two suitcases of 16mm home movies that were inherited by filmmaker
William Lorton from his great uncle who served as a Flight Surgeon. Those
suitcases contained 3 hours of war footage that included a compelling crash
landing of a Spitfire in 1944
Filmed in a 2005 interview with the then 83 year old pilot and seeing the
expression on his face when he realizes it is him in the cockpit, is something
you won't soon forget.
At 18 years old, he was all alone, behind enemy lines, with no guns, no
escort, and he gladly did it.
They just don't make them like that anymore. It was truly the greatest
generation and we owe them so much.
