Did those two see deployment during the war?
How many sticks you figure had to jump from those two bad boys?

Yes both are veterans. They both took part in the D-Day invasions and served throughout the remainder of the war.

Beautiful, I have immense respect for both the men brave enough to jump out of those aircraft and those who piloted them. It took an amazing amount of courage to be part of the elite of the war.
They were my inspiration for wanting to enlist in the military, unfortunately I am no longer eligible to enlist due to health complications with cancer. (Don't worry, I've won, there just isn't a viable replacement for an acromium and scapula.)
