Thanks. I didn’t know that. There were heroes everywhere in those days.

By the way, I looked it up. I wasn’t a plane accident. Howard was on the way to Portugal, and his plane was shot down by the Germans.

And Portugal was an interesting destination. The place was full of spies during WW II, both Axis and Allied.

Portugal was neutral during the war, and EVERY country had spies there.
