Kris I would think you would be in a perfect advantage to interview many especially when it comes to December-January months and the Ardenne memorials attended by many..........
my only input is that my customer base for over 50% is the WW 2 age so treated them all honorably and they opened up for the ones that did serve overseas during the war. am in email conversation today with one vet of the 356th fg that was in ground crew. neat guy, now trying to find out what pilot and A/C type he worked with/on. One cardboard mailer goes out in the morn along with another, both guys in the same fighter group and I also wrote an email to another 356th pilot this morn I have never met ........... so ? Guess my point with Willi and others is just take the chance and write them and see if a repor builds up between the two of you, even after 60 years and the mind dulls some things have penetrated the soul so deeply first hand that they will never be forgotten and that's the stuff that is so unique, you will never hear of nor read in any generalized history
keep at it !
