This one is not often talked about, especially in the United States. It was never as popular as the Normandy invasion has become, but it proved to be just as important to the success of D-Day.

Christmas with Little Friends

This is a big one. It took a lot of heavy research to tie all of this together. 4 months-worth, in fact. Little friends were battling over Mayen, Germany during one of the biggest European Theater Operations of the war. And the neat part is, my Uncle was right there in the thick of it.

Silver Dollar

2021/04/20

Many on social media would have you believe that a B-17 can land without a tail. They would like you to think that a commonly circulated photo of an airborne Fortress with the tail missing succeeded in landing with zero casualties. This is far from the truth, and if we're not careful we will misremember their real story over time. Today, we remember the men that sacrificed their lives in this crippled bird.
