Sad news, but he lasted a lot longer than many other B-17 crew members...

Sad news indeed. :( I remember meeting the pilot at an airshow a while back. Nice fellow.

Unfortunately, this is an ever persisting fact of life we are running into. It is a sad day when the heros that built the freedom we enjoy today, are not able to enjoy the hard work anymore. Being ex military myself and having done active tours, I make it my duty now to educate children today on the importance of the sacrifice they made. I for one will never let them forget.

I will forever live in the sunlight of their bravery.
