It's not WWII, but these were the first guys to ever go after SAM sites.

There's some great reading here.

How could we go after SAM sites if Boroda said the Weasels bailed out when the radar went hot?

Either Soviet propaganda appealed only to the ignorant, or it was way more convincing than I had previously thought :-)

Boroda got me on a roll... I'd forgotten about Jack Donovan and the Weasels.

I've been involved with the military in some fashion for the past 21 years and Jack is one of the few people I've met that just seemed larger than life. He's a great, great man.

We had a few of the Weazel Gibs in the back of the RC's.

Very fun and interesting folk.
