That's a wonderful piece, and I agree totally. I've watched B of B many times, and think those guys, and my father who flew B24s out of Italy, were a rare breed. I'm sad that Shifty is gone, he's one of my favorite characters in the HBO series.

Thank you Shifty, go in peace as you return to meet up with your Band of Brothers!
