Lost film of a real Hero This is a great little film of a young man finding some 16mm film his grandfather shot while a flight surgeon in England during WWII. The grandson tracks down one of the pilots his grandfather filmed, an American who flew a Spitfire (yes, a Spitfire) for the USAAF – a great story. This is probably the best email I've had in a long time. Just watch the expression on his face as he watches himself. We owe a BIG thanks to men like him. http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=ie3SrjLlcUY&sns=em" rel="nofollow - American Spitfire Pilot in WWII [TUBE]ie3SrjLlcUY[/TUBE]

The pride in his eyes as he watched himself come in wheels up. One of the best things the internet has ever done.
