On 12/18/21, I was randomly watching WW2 memoir videos from old veterans recounting their combat experiences and randomly came across this…see link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs82YgHYwNM
My dad, 1st Lt. Paul D. Luvaas Sr. was the co-pilot of this plane. I was stunned to stumble onto this video with my dad! Simply mind-blowing. If anyone has additional information, please contact me. Thank you.
