On this special D-Day episode of What's The Scuttlebutt Podcast, we pause to commemorate one of the most significant moments in modern history and honor the men and women who helped secure freedom during World War II.

To mark this important anniversary, we're taking a step back in time and revisiting powerful moments from our conversations with two remarkable WWII veterans: D-Day veteran Papa Jake Larson and Keith Anderson, a veteran of the legendary 8th Bomb Group.

Through their own words, these heroes share firsthand accounts of war, sacrifice, courage, and perseverance. Their stories provide a rare and deeply personal glimpse into the experiences of the generation that faced some of history's greatest challenges and emerged victorious.

Join us as we pay tribute to the bravery, resilience, and legacy of our WWII veterans. Their stories deserve to be remembered, and their sacrifices must never be forgotten.

Lest We Forget.

This week, we are joined by documentarians Frank Allen and Austin Rich as they take us on an incredible journey into the life and legacy of WWII bomber pilot Arthur Allen, the author of The Ramblings of a Bomber Pilot. We dive deep into Arthur Allen’s wartime contributions, his experiences as a bomber pilot, and how his vivid memoir became the foundation for their latest documentary. Frank and Austin share the unexpected twists that arose during the making of The Ramblings of a Bomber Pilot, including how they uncovered stories that went beyond Arthur’s memoir. One of the most emotional aspects they discuss is the tragic loss of the iconic B-17 bomber, Texas Raiders, which is featured in the documentary. We explore the historical significance of this aircraft, its role in WWII, and the devastating accident in 2022 that claimed both the plane and several lives. Tune in for a poignant conversation about preserving history, the challenges of documentary filmmaking, and the enduring stories of those who served in WWII.
