Good documentary. My dad crash landed on Tinian in B29 “Queen Cathy”. Those were amazing times.

My dad was a waist gunner on B-17s and B-24s in the 8th Air Force out of England. He flew around 30 missions, including the infamous Kassel Mission. I wish I could talk to him again, knowing now what I’ve since learned about what our dads went through.
