Thanks Dan. After years of studying history, and specifically military history, I find myself more drawn to the stories of those that don’t usually make the books and movies. Also, while on the film shoot last week, I had the opportunity to actually spend some time inside a C-47 and the experience was quite moving.

So often these pilots are treated as a faceless conveyor belt that delivered “real heroes” to their destinations or are only mentioned when they failed to achieve their goals, as if pin-pointing a drop zone at night through a solid cloud cover and a hell-storm of flak were a stroll in the park. On the other hand, hardly a word is mentioned about the 1000-plus heavy bombers who failed to drop a single bomb on their intended targets at Omaha Beach.
