On this episode, Derek sits with Colonel Ed Cottrell. Ed is a retired World War 2 fighter pilot. At the age of 102, he has set the record for the oldest "Derek Duvall Show" guest and folks, this man is incredibly sharp. Ed will be discussing how he grew up during the Great Depression, his incredibly successful athletic career in college, what led him to join the military after Pearl Harbor was attacked, flight school, and the various planes he trained on. The discussion will then shift to the European Theater where Ed was assigned to the 48th Fighter Group - 493rd Fighter Squadron. Ed will be discussing various missions that stand out to him including the Battle of the Bulge, the Battle of Julic and much more. We then discuss Post-War life and how he adjusted back to civilian life after such a brutal conflict.
Derek also pays tribute to President Jimmy Carter.
