Saying a prayer for your Great Grandpa and all who were lost going down in the air in WWII.

My Great Uncle was a Navy reserve aviator who was lost after a collision at an air show at the launching of the aircraft carrier Wasp in 1939 right before the war...and rode his plane away from the crowds before bailing out too low...

Aw, that's sad. Yet it shows how selfless he was. He cared more about the safety of the people below him than his own life.

May the memories of the greatest generation continue to live on.
