BigGrin A moving story of courage and adversarys becoming friends, I seam to remember that pictures of that stricken bomber being published after its return from the sortie as 'the b17 always gets you home ' type propaganda but no mention of its true story until nowCool

What a fantastic and truly heart wrenching story that is - thanks for posting it Tom!? It's so nice to see that the better side of humanity was still shining bright in what were such dark days, truly comforting and equally inspiring! Crying Smile

Great to hear that a film is being made about it and one not to be missed, as is the book and one that I will certainly read! ThumpUp

Makes you wonder how many moments of humanity were never told.
“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
-Mark Twain
