Hank Sciaroni kept his experience as a Flight Navigator during WWII close to his chest, not revealing details even to his wife until decades later. Now revealing his memories, Hank discusses being quickly promoted to First Lieutenant in the Army Air Corps. He was then assigned to an airbase in Georgia where he joined a crew and prepared for combat in Germany at the height of WWII. Through the perils of air combat, and an emergency landing behind enemy lines in Italy, Hank utilized his capability to speak Italian to help get him and his men to safety as the Germans closed in. Escaping only with the help of local people and the luck of finding some friendly Canadian soldiers, Hank continues to bring official recognition to those who saved his life.
