“The Outsider” - Decades before ‘Flags of our Fathers’ this 1961 film follows Ira Hayes from basic training, to Iwo Jima, and the years following the war. Gain an appreciation of Ira’s demise as survivor’s guilt is thrust into the hero’s spotlight.
Hidden Gem: One of the best accounts of just how happenstance the second flag raising was.
Favorite Battle of Britain Aircraft
-
The sexist planes on the list are the Spitfire and HE-111. Beautiful planes.

Evening Worsham.
I love so many of the German planes from the Battle of Britain, starting with the 109.
That said the 87 gets my vote. The 88 a close second.
I never liked the 111. Thought it too dangerous with all that glass at the front, I suppose.
Great poll Worsham. -

Great poll Worsham.I chose the Ju-88. Great bomber, could do everything. Level bombing, dive bombing, night fighter, “destroyer.”
