## Resource

Capt. Dick Nelms served as a B-17 pilot in the 8th Air Force during World War II. He completed 35 missions over Germany and Nazi-occupied Europe between May and September of 1944 at just 21 years of age. What can be said about his achievements for America are too long for a simple description here, but after watching this interview you will connect with an American hero that contributed to the freedoms we have today. And you are going to hear some pretty unique stories of what it was like to be in his flight deck. You can hear the podcast version on my podcast "William Wallis For America" on all podcast apps.
