If you know someone who was in WW2 talk to them. A buddy of mine dad was a P-51 pilot in WW2 and he just passed a while ago and I wished I could have talked to him alot more

The Great War Society put this up and even mentioned the late Mr. Frank Buckles in part of it. It might help with this question, but there is no definitive answer.
