This long awaited miniseries from those who brought you Band of Brothers tracks the intertwined odysseys of three U.S. Marines – Robert Leckie, John Basilone and Eugene Sledge – across the vast canvas of the Pacific. The extraordinary experiences of these men and their fellow Marines take them from the first clash with the Japanese in the haunted jungles of Guadalcanal, through the impenetrable rain forests of Cape Gloucester, across the blasted coral strongholds of Peleliu, up the black sand terraces of Iwo Jima, through the killing fields of Okinawa, to the triumphant, yet uneasy, return home after V-J Day.

You will not want to miss this one!

I just watched a film which impressed and touched me deeply and that I want to share with you all.

BROTHERS AT WAR is an intimate portrait of an American family during a turbulent time.  Jake Rademacher sets out to understand the experience, sacrifice, and motivation of his two brothers serving in Iraq. The film follows Jake’s exploits as he risks everything—including his life—to tell his brothers’ story.  Often humorous, but sometimes downright lethal, BROTHERS AT WAR is a remarkable journey where Jake embeds with four combat units in Iraq. Unprecedented access to U.S. and Iraqi combat units take him behind the camouflage curtain with secret reconnaissance troops on the Syrian border, into sniper “Hide Sites” in the Sunni Triangle, through raging machine gun battles with the Iraqi Army.  Ultimately, the film follows his brothers home where separations and life-threatening work ripple through their parents, siblings, wives and children.  BROTHERS AT WAR provides a rare look at the bonds and service of our soldiers on the frontlines and the profound effects their service has on the loved ones they leave behind. – www.BrothersAtWarMovie.com

Exective produced by Gary Sinise (Forrest Gump, Apollo 13) and shot as a first hand documentary, the film follows Jake, the oldest brother as he sets out to experience on some small level and gain an understanding for what his two brothers have and are going through as they fight in Iraq.  This puts a real face on their experience which can only be seen as typical of the soldiers and Marines currently in harms way.  As an army vet who never saw combat, this was very sobering and moving.

I highly recommend this film.

Thomas Sanders has been photographically documenting WWII veterans for the last three years. His photographs capture a timeless subject with a unique personality and individuality.  Sanders photos capture the a truly unique personal side of each veteran and a side of that veteran rarely seen by the public.  Flightline Fabrications recommends you check out Sanders Faces of WWII, you will not be disappointed.

 Acquired in 2005, this C-47 Gooney Bird Cowl Flap was originally NOS Military Inventory.  During the restoration of this Cowl Flap the dicision was made to paint the door flap in the colors of the C-47 transports that dropped paratroopers in Normandy, France during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944.  In August 2008 while visiting the Seattle Museum of Flight, Flightline Fabrications owner Bryan Heim had the rare opportunity to have Band of Brothers 506th  members Don Malarkey and Buck Compton sign the cowl flap, making it a truly one a kind item!

Until July 18th, 1979, no commemoration was held to honor America’s POW/MIAs, those returned and those still missing and unaccounted for from our nation’s wars. That first year, resolutions were passed in the Congress and the national ceremony was held at the National Cathedral, Washington, D.C. The Missing Man formation was flown by the 1st Tactical Squadron, Langley AFB, Virginia. The Veterans Administration published a poster including only the letters “POW/MIA” and that format was continued until 1982 when a black and white drawing of a POW in harsh captivity was used to convey the urgency of the situation and the priority that President Reagan assigned to achieving the fullest possible accounting for Americans still missing from the Vietnam War.

National POW/MIA Recognition Day legislation was introduced yearly, until 1995 when it was deemed by Congress that legislation for special days would no longer be proclaimed by Congress. However, the President continues to sign a proclamation each year. In the early years, the date was routinely set in close proximity to the League’s annual meetings. In the mid-1980’s, the American Ex-POWs decided that they wished to see the date established as April 9th, the date during World War II when the largest number of Americans were captured. As a result, legislation was passed in 1984 which included a July date, but established April 9th as the commemoration date for 1985.

The 1984 National POW/MIA Recognition Day ceremony was held at the White House. At that most impressive ceremony, the Reagan Administration balanced the focus to honor all returned POWs and renew national commitment to accounting as fully as possible for those still missing. Perhaps the most impressive Missing Man formation ever flown was that year, up the Ellipse and over the White House. Unfortunately, the 1985 ceremony was canceled due to inclement weather, a concern which the League had expressed when the April 9th date was first proposed.

Subsequently, in an effort to accommodate all returned POWs and all Americans still missing and unaccounted for from all wars, the National League of Families proposed a date in September, usually the third Friday, not associated with any particular war and not in conjunction with any organization’s national convention. Nearly all National POW/MIA Recognition Day ceremonies have been held at the Pentagon; however, on September 19, 1986, the national ceremony was held on the steps of the U.S. Capitol facing the Mall, again concluding with a flight in Missing Man formation.

The sacrifice and service of America’s veterans, including those who became prisoners of war or who went missing in action, have preserved freedom for America and brought freedom to millions around the world. On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor the extraordinary courage of the Americans who have been prisoners of war, and we pray for those who are still missing in action and unaccounted for. This Nation also remembers the challenges and heartache endured by the families of prisoners of war and missing in action. We seek answers for the families of those who are still missing, and we will not rest until we have a full accounting.

Flightline Fabrications wishes to honor and say thank you to all those who fight to protect our freedom!

Despite a steep learning curve and some harrowing instructional moments, Bryan Heim conquers a Cessna 172 and is cleared for takeoff into becoming a pilot.

Learning to fly may be every boy’s (and many girls’) dream, but flying a plane is the ultimate multitasking scenario and a serious venture. While controlling roll, pitch, and yaw, you must watch out for other aircraft and maintain a level flight. You are dealing simultaneously with wind and relative airspeed, with angle of attack, with the forces of power and load, weight and lift, thrust and drag. For most people, it is a new, and vastly accelerated, way of thinking. And unlike with ground transportation, you can’t just pull over to figure things out.

“Landing is the most challenging part of flying, I didnt even try!” said Heim. “It’s a skilled craft that can’t be fully explained unless you have actually landed a plane. You just have to practice again and again until you get it.”

“Next time I’m coming out with my new log book, I need more hours!” Heim smiled, “so you can bet I will be back!”
