Just a reminder about Veterans Day(Remembrance Day in the UK), and a discovery of a wonderful obituary from The Telegraph of London. Royal Navy pilot Pat Jackson shot a torpedo at the Bismark in WW2. Later during the hunt he and his co-pilot ran out of gas and landed next to an abandoned Lifeboat in the North Atlantic. After bailing out the boat with their boots, they discovered the brandy.... A great story from a heroic age.
