Fair winds and following seas, Mr. Quentin C. Aanenson

Mr. Quentin C. Aanenson was a P-47 pilot in Europe during WWII passed away. He was the principal person behind the PBS documentary "A Fighter Pilot's Story". It was a fascinating story about this member of the Greatest Generation and the 391st Fighter Squadron / 366th Fighter Group.

I remember one scene at the end of the documentary about a conversation he had with a neighbor when he returned to college about saving a group of tanks. He started talking about attacking German positions, the neighbor finished the story. He was in one of those tanks.

Fair Winds and Following Seas, Mr. Aanenson.

Support the Troops!
