You Have To Love Stories Like This!
As of this writing, World War II ended over 70 years ago. Although this awful conflict took place relatively recently in the scope of world history, nowadays its weight seems to be fading. Although we here at World War Wings love the history of the planes in particular, we of course do respect and try to keep the history of the entire war alive.
It’s sometimes really sad to hear how much people know, or actually don’t know, about the history of this war. This is only getting worse by the day as the only remaining survivors are dying everyday; their stories with them.
The P-38 restored in this story is called White 33.
This is why we’re so happy every time we find a story like this one.
We’re not going to give you too much information in this article about it, as the video pretty much sums up the whole story in just a few minutes. It is incredible however that such a story even came to be, as the odds are pretty unlikely.
We’d like to extend our thanks and gratitude to the hero of this story (and the war), Franky Royal. 101 as of this writing, he’s still making history and truly a part of the “Greatest Generation.”
