A WORLD WAR II VETERAN'S STORY
by B T Dion
"One day, we were watching a British pilot come in with his little Spitfire, and was it ever smokin’ ! As soon as it hit the runway, it started flaming. Boy, that plane hadn’t even stopped rolling and out jumped the pilot from the cockpit, onto the wing, and down to the ground. He literally hit the dirt running, doing his darnedest to get away from his burning plane. Every time he took a running stride, the parachute pack he was wearing would slap him in the rear end. What a sight!"
