Impromptu moment with WWII aviator Paul E. Calkin, age 93, recounting a bombing mission that ended with his B-17 from the famed 100th Bomb Group (aka "The Bloody Hundredth") crashing into the frigid English Channel on February 26, 1944. The interview took place on Veterans Day 2017 at Conway, Ark., just before Mr. Calkin took a courtesy flight aboard the EAA's B-17 Aluminum Overcast. It was his first time to fly on a "Flying Fortress" since the war ended.
