Hi all,
Does anyone know of any good audio links to interviews with WWII pilots discussing their war years? The other day I was listening to a podcast of a B24 pilot talking about escorting a battle damaged P38 home over the Pacific and it was absolutely riveting. Would like to find more tales like these. Thanks.

The EAA Timeless Voices archive is very interesting.

Thanks. I actually saw that link posted elsewhere, but the problem is I can't use it because I need something for an ipod (audio only, not video).

Hi mate

Have a look at this page of interviews for The WONZ Show. This is a new initiative by Dave Homewood (member here) who runs the Wings Over New Zealand forum.

Not all are WW2 pilots but lots of good listening.

Thanks all. Found a great one full of accounts:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q= ... MsilKvQzeg

It's on iTunes and FREE. I started listening to the one labeled "Jack Tueller" and it's about a P47 pilot that carried his trumpet with him on every flight.

I don't know if you're familiar with the Old Time Radio Network but here's the link. These are actual radio shows/plays from back in the 30's and 40's. Many are war related shows by famous voice actors. Of interest....there is a 1943 radio show (Radio show #151) related to a current search that is going on in Greenland. Great story of a B-17 crew's survival on the ice cap. I don't know if they can be download to an ipod.

The co-pilot of that B-17 in the radio show was LT Harry Spencer. Below is a website dedicated to him at the Irving, Texas library. Great pics and story there too. The story is 10 pages long.
