NAMING OUR PLANES - NEW COMPILATION VIDEO

I compiled a video of the men of the 354th Fighter Group telling me about naming their planes. Most of these clips have appeared in my other videos, but I thought it would be good to have them in one video. Thank you to all the members of the 354th and their families who helped me over the last 14 years with these video projects. Happy 4th of July !

This is the last of the videos I will produce for this project. It's been a fantastic 14 years! Thank you, all!!


And everyone, please remember the men of the 354th Fighter Group!!!

NEW VIDEO - ANGEL FROM HELL - THE LIFE OF WILLIAM R. PERKINS

July 4, 2020 is the 100th anniversary of William R. Perkins' birthday. He was my relative who flew in the 356th Fighter Squadron. In celebration of his birthday, I am posting this new video entitled "ANGEL FROM HELL - THE LIFE OF WILLIAM R PERKINS". In this 30 minute video I travel to Michigan to see where he grew up and interview people who knew him. Also included are interviews with members of the 354th Fighter Group who served with him. His plane was named Angel From Hell. He was killed in action on June 13, 1944.
