How many people fell on the maiden runway?

I've watched it many times and still cry.

I watched a show commemorating the soldiers who died in World War II. The theme is: They gave their tomorrows for our today. Roughly speaking, they exchanged their tomorrows for our today. They have no tomorrow, so we have today.

Impressive is their last flight. Fighting with them, there was also a team that flew for the first time. They were all destroyed. The first time I flew, I encountered such a tragic battle, and even the old soldiers with a lot of flying experience were almost defeated. I saw one of the planes on their maiden flight, cut in half by their own plane, and the people inside were still shouting, help us! The people from the Memphis could only shout to them: Skydive! Skydive! ! ! They simply don't have time to skydive. Even parachuting, in such a hail of bullets, it is impossible to escape. A target as large as a parachute will definitely be attacked in the long-term falling process.

Don't forget this scene: the plane on its maiden flight was strafed on the runway, and it was bombed before it could be pulled up. Compared with the soldier who has been brooding and never shot down a single enemy plane, they died even more in anger. I think they will die!

This cruelty is not made up, it is something that really happened!

I think everyone should always remember them. Because they don't have tomorrow, because we have today.
