Great film. They just don't make them like that any longer and I'm not speaking of the Mustang.
I have had the honor of having four uncles that were in WWII and knowing several WWII flight men in my home town. One guy was the bombardier on a B29 and spent 3 years as a POW. sadly all of my uncles and he have passed over the last five or so years. They truly are "The Greatest Generation".
About 10 years ago I had the additional honor of meeting Paul Tibbets the pilot of the Enola Gay. I was able to get a photo with him and get it autographed. I treasure the photoo. He had much the same demeanor as Mr. Brooks. Soft spoken, humble and an attitude of "that was my job I didn't question it, I just did it."
Thank you to all who serve and have served our country in the military.
