gizzard Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Today will be the last reunion of the remaining members of Doolittle's B-25 Raiders. There are only four left, and only three can now travel. so they have decided this is their last. Those of you who have been to the USAF Museum at Wright-Pat may remember the goblets and bottle of 1896 Cognac. They will open it today, even though it was supposed to be a "Last Man Standing" thing. So another American aviation story comes to a close. Four out of eighty......... Thank you all........... Giz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 It was my honor and privilege to have met the three (of four) surviving members of the raiders when they attended their last reunion at Eglin Air Force Base. While each member is in his 90's, each had very young eyes. Remarkable men still. American treasures always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
