Excellent. Thank you Lucky for sharing your story! I just received your book also. As a fellow Chattanoogan, I knew several dads who were in aircrews of B-17/24s but they did not want us kids asking about the war. So it is great to hear Lucky's clear and vivid memories. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
I'm surprised this video does not have 10x the views by now. Lucky is amazing, his memory sharper than that of many people half his age. Kudos to you Brandon, and Squadron. The fact that you guys appreciate real history and are into more than just selling model kits is very commendable. You are making some real friends out here.👍
I agree, but I am glad you enjoyed it! I hope to be able to get more interviews like this one!!
God bless you sir and thank you very much from a fellow veteran!🙏
Thank you for your service!!
WOW,What a guy and what a story he had to tell.ALL Americans today should listen to this especial this new younger generation.Thank you Lucky because I was born in 1946 because of your efforts during WWII and never knew that until today.May God bless you and yours.
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved this. It was a rare chance to see and hear living history from one that was there. This was a very, very, good video, thank you so much. And one much needed today to be heard. The Squadron videos are really special. I bought the book he wrote too, and I am looking forward to reading it. Again, very good. I would not have guessed he was as old as he is. He looks good, is doing good. Salute to Lucky.
Glad you enjoyed it! And yes he is in great shape for his age for sure!!
10:13 Thankyou Lucky for your service to our country sharing your harrowing story and continuing your mission educating others and happy birthday to you amen may God continue to bless you. 🙏
Well said!
👍Another great Interview Brandon .
Thank you for watching!!!
thank you Lucky & Brandon.
my good friend's father was a B-17 pilot. When I was in 4th grade, we had to interview someone & write a report, and he kindly agreed to be the subject of my interview.
He also loaned me a silk map that I could show when I gave the report.
Glad you enjoyed! Very cool about that map!
He only survived because he was just lucky! At 102 years old he looks great! But that attitude was what drove the Greatest Generation. Go kill the enemy so they could go home. One thing that historians and most people don’t realize that this generation, with no TV, no computers and often no phone! They could take a car apart and put it back together. That’s often how they got their first car!
Very true!
He reminds me the interviews I’ve seen with the Apollo astronauts all those years after the missions. Sharp and intelligent. Thanks for sharing Brandon
Thanks for watching buddy!!

Thanks for organizing this, Brandon. I enjoyed it.
Thank you Dave!!!
There are air combat scenes in Masters of the air, that are so ridiculous, that even Star Wars is more real..
Amd too much others things...What a wasted opportunity..
Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Highly inspirational!
What a great interview! I'm 64 and do well enough to remember my name much less what I did last week!
