There are plenty of stories, I was fortunate enough to be at the 70th Anniversary of Stansted Airport in 2013 when Lt. Edward William Horn, who was one of the first based pilots spoke.
in the space of 15 minutes he described
being based at Stansted aged just 19,
being sick and missing a mission in which his aircraft was shot down with no survivors
being allocated another aircraft and crew and getting shot down over France
his time at Stalag Luft III which started two months after the "great Escape"
being force marched into Germany when Poland was liberated by the Russians
Being bombed by Allied forces who thought they were German Infantry.
Being liberated By General Patton.
He was only 21 by this stage and had more stories than most people would have in a lifetime.
344th bomb group : Lt. Edward William Horn 344th BG 497th BS
hearing him talk was a humbling experience and will be something that stays with me for the rest of my life.
I would have thought the difficulty would be cramming all that into 10 episodes.
