Been waiting for something like this on Poe's early life

Pretty unfunny jokes.

Really cool interview, thanks guys.

This is totally making me feel like there is a divide between how absolutely amazing this guy is....to what we have now....what a legend & inspiration he is.

Nice

"First unit ito reach Berlin, and they was stopped." we came 🇺🇸

Un signore in gamba, che lucidità, straordinario. Grazie per tutto quello che avete fatto.

As an Iraq veteran, thank you for your service sir! This series was excellent and I enjoyed learning more about the fight in the air during WW2. I am a WW2 nut and I’m always watching movies or documentaries on it, but I typically don’t watch as much about the fight in the air. Much respect to anyone who flies into enemy territory to get whatever the job was done. We will never ever forget what these WW2 veterans did for our country.

The Greatest Generation. There's been nothing like it in American History and there will never be again. Now, everything is "too hard" or "we can't spend the money"... That generation got shit done

My dad flew both the B-24 and B-17 out of Mendelsham, England. He said the B-17 was "cozy" while the B-24 was "drafty". On 10/07/44, flak removed the tail of his B-17 just after bombs away over Meersburg, Germany. He spent the remainder of the war at Stalag Luft 1, being liberated by the Russians.

My father was a ww2 vet in the army. I never thought to ask him...but how often was the word fuck used back then?

Used dead reckoning to navigate, my God. Must have been terrifying to be responsible for getting your bomber group to the target and back. Imagine being a Naval aviator taking off from a carrier and having to find your way back with the technology available to them at the time.

I was just thinking about all the wonderful people I’ve met over the years. We were young then. Experiencing the gold that life offered in foreign lands or states. Strange places far away from home. We bonded for a time, often closer than our own family and siblings because of the unfamiliar, new and often scary surroundings. And then, at journey’s end, we, too, were gone. Poof! Never to see or be seen by one another, again. These fellow sojourners, these brothers of other mothers and sisters of other misters all gone. I remember how 99 year-old Al Couture of the 456th Bomb Group put it as his B-24 bomber crew hit U.S. soil after years away in combat. POOF! Like a flak burst. Everybody dispersed. Gone home to loved ones, lives, jobs. Never to be seen or heard from again.

Amazing young men they were, deserving of upmost respect and admiration. I think I haven't a clue of what sacrifice, discipline, courage (any of the great virtues that are found in the best of us), really are. Though because of men like these, we all have excellent examples to learn from.

It's an absolute privilege to hear that man speak. Thank you sir.

awesome he got to see that tv show and tell what he thinks about it..

GOD BLESS THIS MAN & HIS GENERATION!

Is there a way to write him ?

Man, these stories are so priceless

I would love to sit and listen to his stories for hours. True heroism.

It's so good to hear these Veteran's of the air and their recounts and on this subject in particular (MOTA) almost eighty years after the fact.

Thank you Sir...God Bless you...

Always amazed what a bunch of 20 year olds did. Greatest Generation!

Loved both of these videos. He reminds me a lot of my dad, an aircraft commander in the 451st Bomb Group, which was also in Italy.

Thank you for your service Mr. Couture 🫡

great video, only wish there were more

A very good man with a wonderful ability to recall accurately what went on so long ago. These were the very best of men.

We are pleased to share the link to Mr. Couture’s reactions to the remainder of the series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKu5p598q86WbbMsi=yTIE-yXqh0nWBO6G

You are a HERO!!!! Thank you for all you did!!!

His ability to recall random specific details about his missions from 80y ago is astounding.

salute sir.masters of.the.air

That is so fascinating man! He lived through such a rough era and made a lifelong brotherhood.

Thank you for your service, sir! I loved hearing your stories and would love to hear more of them!

Thank you sir.

Greatest generation. Absolutely. Now if we can just not make the same stupid mistake the Germans did by electing hitler.

Thank you sir

Excellent interview. Yes, Hollywood doesn’t credit the more-numerous B-24. Per the movies/TV, the war was pretty much 8th Air Force B -17’s fighting the air war from England… My father was a B-24 bombardier in the pacific- Most of the time they flew over water and odds were pretty bad if your plane went down

all the clips of the drinking and other shit just seem out of place, like why the hell would you make him react to that, are you stupid? " Did you guys drink or have any sort of comradery during the war?????" It's just so unnecessary

'reI thought the series was great and I'm going to re-watch it. My uncle was a radio operator in B-24s in the Aleutian Islands and my godfather was an engineer/top turret gunner in the 379th BG Mighty Eighth. I wish they would have at least mentioned the B-24s in the series. They could have had a similar scene like the one where the Americans encountered the RAF Bomber Command guys. God bless you Al, I'm glad to see you are doing great! God bless em all 17s 24s Superforts, Lancs and Halifaxes!

Frieden, Freude, Liebe, Glückseligkeit und Wohlstand für alle Menschen

Thank you Al Couture for your service. And it was awesome to hear your perspective of the Masters of the Air. I look forward to the follow-up video of the rest of the series. A big thanks to all veterans for their service.

The greatest generation for me . What they endured is incredible. The times called for dedication and bravery, and they provided it in spades . This man’s testimony is so important. 🇮🇪

80 years on and he still remembers the names. I'm glad this gentleman had such a long life.

I disagree that bayonets were barely used IE 20th Maine. I would argue more deaths hand to hand than from rifle fire.

Amazing interview!! What a special man!!

He meant "chart", not map. He shudve critiqued harshly regarding how they spoke to each other while in combat. They never said "Ballturret to pilot". They referred to each other by name

if theres any 100th bomb group members alive we need a reaction for this show that be sick

Need next episode!!!!

Great video, but what’s with the quotes every 18 seconds? We could just listen to the veteran speak
