When Eagles Gather
Abe Novinsky, Irwin Stovroff, and Bennie Richards meet at the
airport to ride in the Collin's B-24. There was no Nazi
anti-aircraft fire, the machine guns weren't loaded, the bomb bay
was empty and there were no parachutes, but the memories didn't
fade.
Abe remembers: - "It was sixty-three years after we took off on what
we thought would be our final bombing mission, but it didn't turn
out that way. We were hit, on fire, and we had to jump out over the
Nazis."

Irving Stradel Had To Bail out
Boca Raton resident Irving Stradel greeted Abe and Bennie, his
two former fellow crew members as they boarded the B-24 bomber.
"Irving fought back tears. We had an incredible and unusual
experience together during the war because we were shot down on our
35th and final mission," Stradel, 80, said.

Bennie Tells Of Flak So Thick You Could Walk On It
"We went deep into Nazi territory, all the way to Berlin, where
they had 850 flak guns," Richard said.
I remember it was our last mission and I didn't even bother to
check out a fresh parachute, we were young, and full of chutzpah.
Boy was I wrong.
After being shot down, the 10 crewmen spent a year in
prisoner-of-war camps.

You Want A Purple Heart?
During WW-2 they handed out 1.5 million, but
kept no records, so a group of Zionists started
'The
Purple Heart Registration Service'. Pay a fee, raise
your right hand, and you get a certificate. Then you can get
your 'Purple Heart License plates'.
