In 2005, an 83 year-old World War II pilot is surprised to see 16mm footage of his 1944 Spitfire crash for the first time.

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

Wow, that was chilling. The guys from WW II are a dying breed; I know, my dad was one of them. He loved his WW II aircraft.

Thanks for posting that.
