Dangerous Don Willingham's Wit and Wisdom from Windy Valley
A 1942 reminiscence recalls a near fatal Pacific flight of a Boeing Flying Fortress, seven of eight crew surviving in three rafts after a fuel shortage and navigation errors. Eddie Rickenbacker joined as a passenger on a secret wartime mission before rescue on November 11. The narrative closes with a playful local promo for Greenbelt Electric Cooperative.
