This series features an interview TWND conducted with Lucky Luckadoo, a B-17 co-pilot in the 100th BG, along with the author of his biography, Kevin Maurer, titled "Damn Lucky". This interview took place while Masters of the Air was being broadcast on Apple TV where Lucky was featured in the coda to Masters of the Air: The Bloody Hundredth, narrated by Tom Hanks.
Listen in as Lucky, who was 102 at the time of recording, describes in vivid detail what it was like to be a part of the 100 BG of the 8th Air Force when the USAAF was still learning how to fight the vaunted Luftwaffe that would result in 77% of the men he trained with to fly in the 100th BG being killed, captured or wounded.
