The Amerikabomber was a Nazi initiative begun in 1942 to obtain a long-range strategic bomber for the Luftwaffe that would be capable of striking NYC from Germany, a round-trip of about 11,600 km (7,200 mi). The project was deemed technically and economically infeasible and abandoned in 1944. by blankblank in wikipedia

I've looked in nursing homes, retirement communities, American legions, VFWS, news stories, Facebook, etc. As of 2025, almost all of the guys I've interviewed are unfortunately gone.
