No mention of Tom Lanphier?
I saw an hour long story on “The History Channel” about the event. I thought “Lanphier” if that is the correct spelling, did not sound like a credible person.
On the other hand you never can tell. Sometimes a totally honest person sounds like they are lying.
It really was an incredible story of precision flying, good luck, extraordinary timing and brilliant intelligence.
We really were good back then.
