On November 29th, 1943, a large group of B-17 Flying Fortresses were on a mission to take out strategic targets in the industrial city of Bremen, Germany. Inside a B-17F from the 96th Bomb Group named Rikki Tikki Tavi, was Staff Sergeant Eugene Moran. As a tail gunner, Moran was in the thick of the fight against the swarm of enemy fighters. When the Rikki Tikki Tavi experienced a malfunction and slid back from the formation the German’s swarmed in with Bf 109s and FW190s. The fortress was eventually cut into two pieces, with Moran still inside the tail. Some of the research for this film was found in the great book Tailspin by John Armbruster. To find out more you should definitely get a copy.

that is such a goated name "Ricky Tiki Tavi"
That is a deeply moving look at our history. We owe an eternal debt to the brave men and women who gave everything during those final, brutal years. God bless our veterans. 🇺🇸

The theme is that Gene was on plane 109, besides, that's my theory

You’re wrong. They had the aft hatch where the waist gunners went in.

Perang perang perang….. Oh perang demi kekuasaan penguasa.
When they are shooting at German fighters, how do they avoid hitting their own bombers?

영화 보다 더 영화 같은 이야기들이네요
그리고 전쟁중 독일군들이 보여준 인간적인면들은 항상 가슴 한 켠에 작은 울림을 줍니다…

My grandpa, Irv Baum was a B-17pilot shot down overseas in March 1944, and became a POW
He was flying a raid targeting jet engine production near Munich. He had to bail out with his crew, landing in a field right next to his navigator. A local kid tried to warn them which way to run, but French collaborators turned them in for cash before the Germans even showed up. During interrogation in Frankfurt they lined him up in a courtyard with rifles and a sword raised like they were about to execute him. It turned out to be a mock execution meant to break him, and he said he thought more about his mother than about dying itself. That same stretch, he lived through an Allied bombing raid on Frankfurt from inside the city as a prisoner.
He ended up at Stalag Luft III, the camp made famous by the Great Escape, though that happened before he got there. When the Russians got close in January 1945, they force marched him and thousands of others out into one of the worst winters of the century. 37 miles that took three or four days on foot, with no real gear for that kind of cold. By February 1945 he'd reached Stalag VII-A at Moosburg, which by the end held over 100,000 Allied POWs. He was liberated there on April 29, 1945 by Patton's 14th Armored Division. Flag going up, anthem playing, the whole thing.
Years later he came back to Strategic Air Command and helped stand up the ICBM program. I ended up joining the Air Force myself, and he commissioned me as an officer at the Academy, where I became a nuclear missiles officer. Still wild to me that this is real family history. I never udnerstood his story until he commissioned me as a second lieutenant
Here is a video of story:

איזה מלחמה זת
Ничего не скажу о содержании, но мертвенная одутловатость сгенерированных ИИ лиц вызывает отвращение. Лучше бы откровенные мультики рисовали…
