When asked about his military service he would always minimize his heroism. But the fact is that if he had done nothing after reaching the age of 25 years old today we would be celebrating the life of an american hero. 35 missions in the be 24. As scott said so well last night there would have been a lot more had the war gone. A lot more than one close call. Shrapnel penetrating the windshield at one point, nearly killing him. A blown wheel, an emergency landing, and on his 30 fifth and final mission, so much fire that when he landed they counted the holes in his fuselage and wings and it number 110. Georges life was not an easy one. He saw more than his share of hardship, loss he fought many battles beyond the ones in the airplane. The hits he sustained in world war ii were easier to see but in truth he was riddle
