At our July 7th WWII Reminiscences program, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.,  we welcome Dr. Bud Wentz, a B-17 pilot during WWII. On one memorable occasion his plane was rammed by a German Fighter (an ME-109).

By wild coincidence the collision was captured by combat photographers and eventually shown on the History Channel. Come and hear ‘Bud’s’ telling of this unusual event and see the actual footage.
