Men like this are the reason we speak English instead of German

WWII Spitfire Pilot
This is probably one of the best emails I've had in a long time.
Just watch the expression on his face as he watches himself.
We owe a BIG thank you to men like him.
18 years old, all alone, behind enemy lines, no guns, no escort...and he gladly did it.
It was truly the greatest generation...We owe them so much...
Enjoy!

On a lighter note..... I wonder if he knew that he would be flying the first "New York Compliant" Spitfire. (No Guns);)

That was awesome, thanks for posting that.

Quite a moving story.
My great uncle -- George Watson, Muncie, Indiana, went over to fly with the RAF boys in 1939. Got shot down and lost.
I have indeed lived a privileged life.
Thanks for posting
