1:23:04Now PlayingOn today’s show, Jack is joined by #1 New York Times bestselling author Kevin Maurer and by John “Lucky” Luckadoo, the subject of Kevin’s new book, Damn Lucky: One Man’s Courage During the Bloodiest Military Campaign in Aviation History.
It’s an incredible true story of a World War II hero.
Lucky joined the military in the weeks following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, and after flight training was assigned as a Second Lieutenant to the 100th Bomb Group stationed in England.
During a time when most bombing crews wouldn’t survive more than a dozen missions, Lucky completed 25 in the B-17 Flying Fortress over France and Germany on bombing runs aimed at destroying the Nazi war machine.
