May those who perished on that night and those who have passed away since never be forgotten.

Quite a show they put on there... excellent.  8-)

That onboard video gives an idea of what a tough job that was, at night... not to mention the entire round trip at less than 200 feet, in range of every gun, large and small, not to mention the Luftwaffe!!  :o

The men who flew and fought in World War II have no equal.
