There is that whole “generation lost” thing we are fighting. Perhaps some mini documentary type following old vets (which we are quickly losing) visiting old airfields, museums and such with their kids and grand kids and reminiscing. I have seen too many articles on people upon their parents or grandparents dying find they were in bomber command or fighter command and the family had NO CLUE. They just didn’t talk about it. Once they are gone………we lose connection.
Here in the US, Ken Burnes did “A Fighter Pilots Story”. An excellent mini-series. Interviews, pictures, film clips, letters to and from home, old news paper articles, diary excerpts and vintage music all melded together into a multi-faceted story that people could relate to.
