Same here. My retired air force colonel friend back home flew B-17s, B-24s, and B-25s during the war and F-80s after the war. He will be 101 this year.
He told me about one mission late in the war. His group was buzzed, but not being fired on, by a pair of ME-262s that came from behind, and turned to face them.
With delightful irony, he has the same name as a German Luftwaffe ace.
My father, who passed away at the age of 74, a few hours before Nixon, spent time in Italy as a B-25 tech.
