Shouting At Hitler

Episode 6: The Personal Courage Series: Shouting at Hitler Show Notes: In this second installment of our Personal Courage series, B-17 pilot Dick Nelms takes us on one of his missions and shares how he and his comrades dealt with fear and other realities of war. From a young age, Dick loved planes and when the time came to participate in the war effort, he knew he wanted to fly. And it’s a good thing he did: his 35 missions contributed to the final Allied victory. Dick looks back on his time in the B-17 and is proud of “putting a dent in Hitler’s war machine.” Get more first-hand accounts of aviation history with our oral histories program. http://www.museumofflight.org/Collections-and-Research/Current-Projects/3251/digitizing-the-american-fighter-aces-oral-histories Email our Curator if you’d like to access an oral history: curator@museumofflight.org Host: Sean Mobley Producer: Justin Braegelmann Webmaster: Layne Benofsky Content Marketing Manager: Irene Jagla
