This was a really great documentary. The pilots 
of WWII had more guts than most. Thank you, Earl, for this video.

After the response to the Spitfire video I'll 
share a song I just wrote and hope to perform for 
the Commemorative Air force crews on their 
layover at my home base in about 6 weeks.

           American Hero’s
Chorus

Who’s gona’ keep those war birds flying who’s gona’ tell of hero’s dying

The fight for freedom isn't free; the burden lies with you and me


Verse#1

Listen to sound of the 51’s , roaring engines and  mighty guns
They took to wing across the land; American heroes took their stand

Verse#2

Hear the engines roar up high; a thousand wings take to the sky
Filled with hero’s every one; they don't give up till the fighting’s done

Verse#3

They fought for an ocean deep and wide on wings of blue that lifts them high
They carried freedom on their wing; their courage was an awesome thing

Verse#4

Just common men with a common dream - in freedom’s fight they took to wing
They took the fight to the enemy;  they risked their life to keep us free

Verse#5

Hero’s all, both black and white, and ladies too were in the fight
I know they’re in heaven cause they flew through 
hell -that we might now ring freedom’s bell


Verse #6

We owe a debt that can't be paid by placing flowers on their grave
We can only tell their stories true; the burden lies with me and you
