"Just wanted to drop you a note to say how much this old Marine Vietnam vet enjoys your stories. You have a real talent for storytelling. Great work and I will be a faithful follower of your channel. SemperFi"
"They didn't steal all the gear for their bomber. Some of the other crews were ...
putting in false requisitions to make new parts get ordered. The old ones went to Jay's crew.
The other crews knew they were good and effective and didn't want them sidelined. Plus I imagine they wanted to see what would happen next. It gets boring on a base when you're not on."
"As an amateur WWII historian myself, I’ve read/heard countless stories about individuals and small teams of men doing extraordinary things during the war. This story of the Eager Beavers is ...
one of my absolute favorites. It also helps that the fat electrician is absolutely hilarious and I thoroughly enjoy how he tells stories!"
