When my dad had dementia, he claimed he had been to the moon. At least he did not control nuclear weapons.

Lt. Finnegan & crew served honorably. This can't be said for his lying nephew.

My late father served with US Army Signal Corps in Papa New Guinea. For this person to make up stories about his family's military history is a slap to the memory of all who served and died fighting for their country.

Wish Joey had not dishonored his uncle with such a tale.

"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." --Mark Twain

And hillary clinton dodged sniper fire.

Cornpop was the rear gunner and Garland was the navigator, they got lost because he had no moral compass.

Greg Gutfeld: "This election we have a choice between one man facing a sentence, and another who can't complete one"

The same guy who said his son died in Iraq. He didn’t! Beau died in Bethesda hospital in Maryland due to a brain tumor

Q: Why won't cannibals eat clowns? A: Cuz they taste funny.

He even got the type of plane wrong. Twin engine, not single.

At the very time the Overlord mission was happening on D-Day, my father was serving in the US Army on New Guinea, (he never mentioned any cannibals).

I lived in Delaware for 13 years in the 80s and 90s. He was a liar back then just as he is now!

I find it hilarious that Papua New Guinea felt the need to release a statement refuting Biden's BS. Thanks for the excellent video TJ. Stay Awesome!

Now you know why I named him potato Head 😂

I'm an AF veteran. The fact that Lt Finigan was a courier showed his Superiors put a lot of trust in him. To all the crew of that plane Rest In Peace my brothers In arms

First, the cannibal children played with his hairy legs. They were so memorized that they turn blonde in the sun.

After his uncle died in World War II,,, He also died in Korea,,, Vietnam,,,, And a few other black ops we can talk about,,,,

The plane hit another plane named "dirty old man" oh the irony

I don’t know what’s worse, lying about his past or confusing it with someone else’s. Either way, it’s scary to me that someone like that is running the country.

Joes brain was shot down at an ice cream stand in Delaware. I never would have believed that Mr McGoo would become president.

He was not shot down, and was not eaten by cannibals. That does not diminish his service to our country, however. Much respect and honor to all our combat veterans.

My buddy told me that corn pop was Orville Redenbacher.

Thank you for reminding all of us that those who served in non-combat roles were still heroes. The mechs that kept the planes flying, the men and women that built Liberty ships, the WASP's that ferried aircraft throughout the world. All are real heroes... They should not be remembered badly because some fraud tells stories about them. Lt. Finnegan did, indeed, die a heroes death in service of our country. That is was not in combat does to change anything at all. If it did, then all of those that died when Indianapolis sank are, also, not heroes.. and that is just wrong. Bravo to you, Lt. Finnegan, wherever you are. Thank you for your sacrifice.

This is exactly how claims should be investigated. Lay out the available documents and survivor accounts. Thanks for a great video !

Was the Cannibal's name "Popcorn"..??

Another awesome video. Greatly appreciate you taking the time to research the facts. Too bad the mainstream media doesn't care about the truth.

WW2 both my Grandfather’s served in that horrible war . They both came home after serving . They never explained the job duty’s they had in the war . I guess they just wanted to forget .

RIP captain Cornpop.

I think "Dung" beetles ate Joe's brain when they found it in his diaper!

Great video

The only thing that when someone claim is false takes away from the one's who did give their lives to protect our country are the true heroes in my book. His uncle should be remembered for his service just like everyone who served.

Some truth is refreshing. Thanks for the research.

My father, Maj. Frederick O. Blair flew 25 missions on "Old Baldy" as bombardier out of Port Moresby, New Guinea in late 1943. As incredibly tough as B-17s were, men who flew them were aware of how little it took to have engine issues or other problem on these, even during their height of service when they were kept reasonably fit for service. My dad ended up with dozens of full sized crew pictures out of Port Moresby. Had them bound into a book he tried selling at the Army Air Corps reunions in the 1980's and early 90's, with a bit of success. My dad had flak wounds and some metal in his right hand and arm until his passing in 1996. Purple Heart, Distinguished Flying Cross, 6 children. School teacher on Long Island for 22 years. Hero in every sense, to me, and to many of whom his life touched. Not overly religious in any demonstrable way, but deeply Christian in his charity to all he met, always giving what he had away, up to and including the day he died. When I think back to the spoiled, coddled children and young adults we were. The "crazy stuff" we got up to as teenagers? It would never hold a candle to flying in a B-17, right through anti-aircraft fire to try and get a bombing mission done. Learning how to skip bomb from low LOW altitudes. Love, sorrow, joy, deep respect - I lost my dad in 1996, 6 weeks before my son was born. I became a dad, as I lost mine. I remember palpable fear at the fact that the reigns were being handed over. To us. My generation isn't worth crap compared to the camaraderie, bravery faith and love these men gave their country. It's not about how many flags you can paint on your truck. Honor, glory, love and pride; I have it all for you dad in abundance, forever.

Thank you for this story❤

Boy if he was eaten by cannibals they don't have heartburn wouldn't they.

Good on you for taking this on, knowing the mud's going to fly.

The men and women of this great generation that served during WWII deserve our utmost respect and admiration. Thank you for all your videos.

Thank You for this information. It has cleared up some very muddy water.

Interesting content. Thank you for your thorough research.

I was very saddened to learn about the loss of Bud Anderson, TJ.........even at the very ripe old age of 102 this man was a hero great until the end. He had the most interesting long term military career and personal life (including marrying his fellow pilot and best friend's widowed wife for 70 years!) and I hope you can do another special on this phenomenal aviator and person! Jim C.

I am Surprised Joe hasn’t told you about him being an ace in world war 2, while driving a truck back in the United States at the same time .

Thanks for doing the research. Very interesting.

Cannibals -" No really ,its a hot tub . Get in ."

A politician lied. Shocker.

He also said ‘I didn’t shower with my daughter, not a joke.’

👍 Interesting bit of history. Thank you for sharing the facts.

Excellent video. Informative and entertaining. Thanks for creating it.

AH, good old Uncle Bosey & the Cannibals. Sounds like a rock band. Unreal, very unreal.

Wonder how Finnigan and his crew would feel about things today.

Thank you setting the record straight.

Well done, thanks for sharing!

I have thoughts about Biden, but as TJ said, it's important that the stories of these men are remembered and told correctly in honor of their sacrifices.

Thanks for putting this out. For honoring the men and setting the record straight.

Thank you for the facts. Great work on the video. New subscriber!

Yes, and cannibals ate him and his plane. Corn Pop said it was true so I believe it.

I realize the supply and maintenance issues during wartime. A plane makes a belly landing, crashes into a parked airplane and pretty well destroys the cockpit, gets repaired all in a few weeks then having it fly 350 miles over water to deliver communications...what could possibly go wrong with this picture? Sadly, we'll never know but these type of hero's are who we should remember this weekend (Memorial Day). Thanks for this.

I think Godzilla ran into him, while he was on his way to Tokyo. He zapped the plane with atomic breath, knocked his uncle out of the cockpit, and he fell to earth only to be eaten by cannibles.

Excellent presentation.

When history is told to you by your family and you want to believe it compared to what really happened makes all the difference in the world. I appreciate how you deliver this. I went through this myself and I appreciate your hard work. Thank you.

Telling these stories after serious research does a great service to these men. It doesn't seem fair that being killed during a mission deemed non combat was downgraded by the military.

Thank you for your professional presentation. I'm not surprised by your findings.

it doesnt matter how memories get distorted over the years, the fact is these men died in service to their country during a time of war. They did their part and should be remembered for it. Its sad that those memories have been distorted with time as I am sure they would not want to be remembered any other way than what actually happened.

This was probably the same uncle that was eaten by canibals.

His uncle was a mailman.

Interesting. Thanks for doing the research.

In the version I heard, Cornpop ate him.

Bush’s crewmen were not eaten by the Japanese. Bush successfully bailed out and was later rescued by a submarine. One of his crewmen also bailed out, but his chute didn’t open and he fell into the ocean. The third crewman went in with the plane, possibly already dead. However, other American airmen, shot down over that island and taken prisoner, were murdered and their livers eaten by some Japanese officers. See the book ‘Flyboys’ by James Bradley.

My grandfather was a cannibal. He verified Brandon's uncle was eaten and the entire tribe got sick.

Thank you for setting the record straight.

Thank you for a very interesting story. I didn't know that about noncombat missions.

Very nice job of telling the complete story and doing this man’s service honor, especially with this upcoming weekend

Cornpop was head of the cannibals.

Of course it's true! Just like Cho Bie Dung was an 18-wheeler driver!

Great History lesson

With the political climate in the country being what it is, you handled this with great tact and decorum. Well done, and keep up the good work. These 10-20 minute videos are great!

Excellent! Thanks for your research into the facts. Uncle Bozie's nephew seems to get the facts wrong on a regular basis!!

A pilot N Biden flew with the SAAF Number 1 squadron in the western dessert in Ww2. I believe he survived the war but was later killed in the Korean War .A relative Major J Gaynor ( who is buried at Anzio ) flew in the same squadron .

Private Corn Pop saved lieutenant Dan in Vietnam.

Was there a mysterious bag, full of white powder found near the bones of unkle ambrose? 🙄

PinocchiJoe does it again.

Apparently according to local cannibal island lore Uncle Boosie made the best damn burgers on the island.

I wasn’t aware that the people of New Guinea were cannibals.

The Allies gave Biden his aviator glasses for shooting the Red Baron down.

At this point I wonder if Biden can even tell the truth

Great graphics, interesting story

Excellent video! Semper Fi......

Barry"s Baby indeed! You can"t make this crap up!!!!🤔BTW Fantastic video! Your content, illustrations, animations and narration is really done well. Thank you!

Pinocchio Master of the free world 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

No mention of the cannibals getting food poisoning?

Buck Fiden here with the real story man...no joke...i watched two cannibals sitting on a bench in New Guinea during one of our ritual BBQs...they were both eating poor old uncle Bosie when one cannibal turns to the other cannibal and asks, "does this taste funny to you?" I knew it then and there for sure man...no joke man and i swam back home! Yeh that's what happened i ain't kiddin man...😮

The cannibals were in New Guinea but it was under American control at that period in time. The natives liked the Americans because they were good to them and gave them lots of neat stuff. My father was on New Guinea during that time and had lots of interaction with the natives.

That is why the Nederlandsche Gouvernement had a detention camp in Boven-Digoel from 1926 til 1943. The guards were sharks and crocodiles in the river, endemic malaria and headhunters in the jungle. Better guards you can not get.

thank you for sharing the facts😁

WOW! History was made on my birthday

I grew up in the highlands of New Guinea in the late 1950's and early 1960's. When my family went there, outsiders had first arrived only a few years earlier. I would have been the first white kid a lot of the locals would have ever seen. From what I can make out, stories of cannibalism by the native New Guineans are wildly exaggerated. There are two peoples that are known to have regularly indulged in cannibalism. On is the Fore who ritualistically ate the brains of their dead relatives and the other is the Korowai who are known for eating enemies defeated in battle. However the latter one may be a myth used to promote tourism. Certainly there was no cannibalism where I grew up. There was no need for it. The place was really fertile, with lots of rain. There was never a shortage of food. The idea that the indigenous peoples of New Guinea were constantly ready to pounce on and consume any dead body they came across has no credibility at all.

Bro..This is Top Top HISTORIC FACTS... YOU ARE THE BEST HISTORIAN, AND STORY TELLER..

I think Corn Pop hired the cannibals to devour his uncle. 😂

He probably slipped and fell out of the plane.
