experience flying P-38&#8217;s, and was one of the few pilots to survive from his aviation class.\u00a0 Following the war, he vowed to convey the incalculable cost of war and pay tribute to the 88,000 U.S. Airmen killed during WWII.\u00a0 He completed this seven year project at the age of 94, just two years before his death in 2018.<\/p>\n<p><a
