Welcome to a special season of World War II on Topic: Veteran Voices. Where we listen to firsthand accounts from those who lived through the war.

This episode is brought to you by the Museum’s Jenny Craig Institute for the Study of War & Democracy.

At our 2022 International Conference, we were “lucky” to hear from Veteran John “Lucky” Luckadoo, who was interviewed by Dr. Donald Miller, the author of “Master’s of the Air.”

Lucky served as a pilot and copilot with the 100th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, also known as the “Bloody Hundredth.” He flew a total of 25 missions over targets in France and Germany.

Lucky shared some of his experiences with the Mighty Eighth and memories of flying these daring missions.
