Ray has been kind enough to allow TWND to crash his podcast, The History of WWII, for the past three years where we share select clips from veterans we've featured that year on The Warrior Next Door Podcast. These two episodes are what aired on his podcast in November of 2024.
In this episode we share how we were able to meet and interview Donald Miller, the author of Masters of the Air, which was the source material for the mini-series of the same name that aired on Apple TV. We followed-up with clips from an interview with John "Lucky" Luckadoo, who was a member of the Bloody 100th bomb group who survived the early days of the 8th Air Force bombing raids over Germany.
In the second part of the series we share clips from an interview with Jack Hamlin, who was a rescue diver for the US Coast Guard during the invasion of Normandy on Omaha beach where he saved countless lives.
