“In WWII?

Nope.”

Yup. There actually were soldiers in airplanes in WWII.

Glenn Miller was a soldier. He was flying over the English Channel when he was shot down...

Granted, it was much less often than it is today, but it DID, indeed, happen.

Best!

Seems like I remember that they finally decided that his plane wasn’t shot down, but was blown out of the sky by a bomber high overhead jettisoning their bombs.
