Wounded On Board 

I just started seeing this podcast about 8 hours ago, and cannot stop. My late father was a WW 2 marine who fought on Iwo Jima among others and always admired him and now all these brave men. Great job.

Always remembering thank the doctors and nurses who took care of these guys.

This is an exceptional series of interviews.

How difficult it must be for him to remember his buddy Walt. God bless you, sir.

This was a bad ass generation. Much respect 🇺🇸

Good man....great recount of what he lived thru....they ALL deserve a whole lot of medals and respect. Good vudeo...ty

That was very hard for him. These guys were heroes. Everyone of them

You see how difficult it is even now for him to talk about it. A heavy cross to bear.

I live near the USAF cemetery in Suffolk . Respect to all them young men that never made it back home 👍🇬🇧

I’ve really enjoyed these interviews and all the stories. My uncle Wallace was a P-51 pilot near the end of the war and was shot down 3 times by flak and the French underground got him back to his base all 3 times. Those men and women where from a generation we could all use now. Just an unwavering team effort and no looking back just do your best. Bless you and thank you for keeping their true history alive and for us all to learn from.

All of these stories are about the USAAF , well here is a true experience told to me by an ex RAF Lancaster pilot. Returning from a night bombing mission , attacked and set on fire by a nightfighter on the French side of the English Channel . With flames in the cockpit he managed to ditch the aircraft , and all except himself got into the dinghy. I asked him at this point as to why he stayed in the water . The rear gunner had his arm practically severed by a cannon shell and the dinghy was full of the gunners blood. and he hated the sight of blood. Eventually rescued by the RAF Air Sea Rescue launch my pilot friend was Ambulanced to East Grinstead Burns unit. He was there for a considerable time having skin grafts on the back of his legs and buttocks. Being somewhat squeamish he initially found the gruesome sights of badly burned men hard to stomach. Eventually he returned to his squadron and ended the war as a Wing Commander DFC .

To all the family members of this awesome hero, I would like to say; “y’all are so very blessed to have had spent time with William.” Plz feel free to DM me with brief memories. William reminds my of my father who fought in the Pacific Theater. Dad was my hero up until the day he passed. Thank you, and God Speed 🇺🇸

the saddness in his eyes at 14:00 hurts to see. glad you are here Mr. McFalone. thank you for your time

What strength of character. How he stopped himself from crying remembering his experiences?

Good to see these guys looking so relatively young & in such good shape! May they all live to 300 they have so many stories to tell. Thank you for your help in both Great Wars America from the UK!

Raymond I don’t know you but I just started watching your interviews. What you have is priceless! I truly believe you should write a book on WW2. You have more data than the History Channel. You have interviewed more WW2 veterans than anyone. Next to being in WW2, you have more knowledge & data documented than anyone. Everyone in the world should have access to this - even the one’s with no electricity - ie book! The world was in a crunch 75+ years ago and had to come together as one to live free. Thank you again for documenting history - I hope you prosper and have everything you ever wanted!

Thank you Sir, God bless you ALL 🙏

Thank you, my father was a.t.c. WW2. Started out in the r.c.a.f., inducted army air corps in April 42, rank of first lieutenant. Full captain upon discharge. Never had a chance to speak to him, as he was killed in a c_46 crash in 64, at the end of the Congo Crisis.

God Bless & keep you all.

That was a wonderful interview. What a man.

The kind act of his pilot Walt placing the extra blankets on him seems symbolic as if giving him extra protection in the days ahead.

Liking the music thats used for the introduction nice choice .

God Bless...

Men of honor

Pretty emotional, got me in tears.

Great channel Raymond. Subscribed!!

Humble and unspeakably brave man. Tortuous to see the grief he's going through here with significant survivor's guilt although I'm sure with his survival, he made the world a better place.

Great guy...a good look back.

Is there any account(s) of where the flak shrapnel went when it fell back to earth?? Surely it was peppering the houses & people on the ground.

Dad in the navy {Mine Sweeper} and Uncle in SW Pacific {Combat Enginner}.......GO TEAM U.S.A.

ATTENTION WANNABE INTERVIEWERS!!! This is how you do it.

incredible

The 390th took a lot hurting on 11/30/44. Wonder who that navigater was on lead plane that overshot target leading to fly into horrible flack. Maybe that day might not have been nearly as bad.

Just look at this man. He's cut from a different cloth.

My uncle was in the army air in ww2. He was shot down over Holland in 44 He was captured by the Germans and spent the rest of war as a pow. He was liberated in 45 by Patton

How old was he when he was interviewed? And when the interview was made? It's an amazing account, very moving...

Visit the 390th bomb group museum, at the Pima AIR and Space Museum, in Tucson AZ. It is well Worth The trip[.

Buddies........Hard,....This Is What Makes Us Human,...Like The Marine that jumped on the Grenade,........HE {Jesus} IS IN US,....Those of us that are normal, of course

The mortality of the air corps was more than ten times that of the infantry.
