Any chance of something like this for the 190D-13?

The panel discussions I've been to haven't had any pilots other than from the US, except for once in the audience an Me 262 test pilot.  Also, there was once a US citizen who flew for the RCAF and then later with the USAAF -- Lou Luma (a Mosquito night-fighter ace).

I've asked museum folks a bit about that, and I'm going to see if there is any way my wife and I can pitch in.  I've been to a lot of these panel discussions and some of the stories are *amazing* -- as amazing or more amazing than even the most-spectacular stories you have read in histories.  Some are hilarious.  Some are heartbreakingly sad.  They are stories a lot of people would truly wish to hear.

They should be saved. The participants aren't going to be around much longer. All that will be left is what somebody reads in a book and a few interviews that will be copyrighted and then hidden away for 75 years.

It would be nice to mic them like they do in video podcasts to get clean audio..

They do record each one, which is excellent.  But I'm not sure if or how they are available.  I'm inquiring, though.  Many of the stories you guys would very much love to hear.
