Thanks for this video, even though I was in the Air force for 20 years, I had never heard that story. You'd think with two Medals of Honor coming from it, I would have. Hap Arnold once said " the B-17 was airpower"
Some of you may know this but the saying "the whole nine yards" came from the WWII bomber gunners. The guns ammo belts were 27 feet long, the guys would come back from a mission empty and say "I gave them the whole nine yards" Just a little load toad trivia!
