An All American Falls: WWII Ace Who Flew Through Legs of Eiffel Tower Dies

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



RIP you magnificent son of a gun:

World War II fighter pilot William Overstreet Jr., who gained fame for flying beneath the Eiffel Tower’s arches in pursuit of a German aircraft, has died. He was 92.

According to Oakley’s Funeral Home, Overstreet died Sunday at a Roanoke hospital.

Overstreet’s famous flight in Nazi-occupied Paris has been credited with lifting the spirits of French Resistance troops on the ground. In a 2009 ceremony at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, the French ambassador to the United States presented Overstreet with France’s Legion of Honor.

Here’s what it might have looked like:

    • Country Codger

      WOW!
      These were men. I hope I am able to be half the man some of these guys were, of course, I am 3 times their age at the time they fought in WWII. But then, WWIII will be fought right here and this old vet will, in the words of Capt. JJ MacAlister, “make a damn good demonstration of ourselves. God bless you too Jack, wherever you are. :lol:

      Despite this type of feat it must be disturbing for veterans still alive to know that our fellow countrymen/troops died for a lie like the holohoax and are still dying for lies that have been not for ‘freedom’ or to ‘save us’ but to create the world military and jew world order. People back then would have had a more difficult time knowing about the plot, but there is no excuse not to know it now with the internet, even though the web is full of psy ops half truth sites. That war like all wars was a lie, the holocaust never happened, no gas chambers, no six million, no holocaust of jews, only a holohoax. The holocaust was at Dresden, and of our American troops killed for lies Know the truth, tell the vets, don’t join the fake military. We’ve lost enough good men by the lies we’re told. FDR – pearl harbor false flag, holohoax, jew communist ‘new deal’. http://www.thebirdman.org/Index/Others/Others-Doc-Jews/+Doc-Jews-National&InternationalConspiracy&NWO/ExplainingWW2-Stalin,Roosevelt,Eisenhower&ChurchillAllJews.htm

        Horse $hit. Even FDR tried to hide the Holocaust. The former 60min. host, Andy Rooney, viewed the camps first hand. As liberal as he was, he would tell you to your face that you are making a factual error.

          Lenin, Stalin and Mao – 260,000,000 or more humans eliminated. Mohammed’s followers, over 200,000,000 million souls from 634 to 827 CE, including entire communities of peaceful, defenseless Jews.

          Where’s their museums?

        • Freeamerican

          hardcase, You lack information or are a troll for the jwo. There was no holocaust. No gas chambers, no six million. Holohoax. The jew controls America today and has for over a hundred years. No holocaust. Click bottom page http://www.ihr.org/books/leuchter/publishers_comments.html There are many sources available disproving the hoax. The jews got the federal reserve in 1913, run all banks, media, schools, and gun control http://www.thezog.wordpress.com Liars like rooney and all the others in media have been working for them all these years, not you.
          ” You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can’t criticize Israel…” —Israeli spokeswoman, Tzipora Menache

          anonymous, We can add over two hundred million whites/christians to that, though the ‘poor defenseless jew’ history is mostly bunk (takes some research to sort it out). You make a good point, Stalin’s holomodor, the many fakery wars ever since killing whites/troops who ignorantly joined the military. Marx ,Trotsky, Stalin were all jews same as those running America today. http://www.heretical.com/miscellx/melenin.html
