WWII Airman Reacts to Masters of the Air Full Series

This video is the second installment of Al Couture's reactions to Apple TV's "Masters of the Air." Al is a 99 year old U.S. Army Air Forces veteran who served as a navigator aboard a B-24 Bomber with the 456th Bombardment Group during World War II. Al was surprised and humbled by reaction to the first video, and was generous enough to watch the rest of the series with us and comment on scenes in the later episodes.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Man, these stories are so priceless

great video, only wish there were more

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.

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.
