A salute to Wing Commander John Connell Freeborn.

A Spitfire performed at the Atlantic City Air Show on August 25.

The appearance was awesome.

I think you could read 50 books about the aircraft and the men who flew it, but your education can’t be complete until you soak in that sight and sound. I hope we never forget those men and those planes and what they did.

I attended an event in England a few years ago where there were no less than 12 Spitfires in the air together, along with Hurricanes, Mustangs and the only operational Lancaster heavy bomber. Needless to say, it was a breathtaking spectacle.
