This Is What My Father Saw in World War II

This is what my father saw in WWII as a P-38 fighter pilot dive bombing German supply trains and munitions factories.   He also saw German built jet aircraft breaking the sound barrier.

This clip is a fictional account from the Steven Spielberg TV mini-series Taken. Its very much like the description  my father gave of mission over Germany during a conversation I had with him while working for him during my high school summer break.  Dad always believed UFOs were real. He saw them.  My heart jumped when I saw this sequence on TV. Remember these men had no preconceptions of UFOs, they didn't know what they were.  WWII pilots called them "foo-fighters", perhaps a corruption of French words "le feu" for "the fire",Wikipedia has an article on foo-fighters here.

After this seeing this clip I realized the remarkable youth my father had. Unfortunately he had already passed away when this aired and I was unable to ask him any more questions.  Do we every really know who our parents were?
