Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra m�d,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra m�r yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

I hadn't heard of that. Magnificent story.

My respects to a brave crew.

Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

I think it refers to the number of decorations earned by the crew, 2 MOH and 7 DSC.

Just an FYI, the Jay Zeamer story (with voice interview, IIRC) is on a Dogfights episode. For DVD it's on Season 1, Disk 4, titled "Long Odds".


The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph

Awesome story, thanks. salute

I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

A band of good for nothings, that proved the naysayers wrong.

It's odd that with other - 'better'- crews they appeared to be substandard crew members, yet as a group they proved to be second to none.

Hats off to their resilience.

Here is Zeamer's interview.



The video is from the Medal of Honor Book channel. Lots of interviews with MOH Honorees.

All of these guys are amazing people
