Referring to the Eighth Air Force that had 28,000 men KIA and 56.000 casualties. They flew daylight bombing sorties over German targets. I am sure Tony remembers the planes of the Eighth....many B-17s P-51s and others. The Air Force was glamorous, but flying 30 missions as they were required to do resulted in all those dead. 10 or 11 guys were in those bombers and 75% were either killed, missing in action, wounded or taken prisoner. Danny Bennett, please contact me. Thank you. The proposed film I just talked about is “Remembering the Mighty Eighth.” Referring to the Eighth Air Force that had 28,000 men KIA and 56.000 casualties.

Born 6-16-25. During WW II, I was in Graves Registration, landing in Normandy on D-Day and Battle of the Bulge. I understand Tony was relegated to Graves Registration as punishment for associating with a black man toward end of war in Europe. I have produced two documentaries about FREEDOM with history teachers and combat veterans of the campaigns listed above. They are being aired on 90 PBS stations presently and for the next two years. The Lesson is Priceless and Memories of France. Planning a third documentary about the Eighth Air Force operations from England in WW II called Rememberin the Mighty Eighth. Would like to contact Danny Bennett, please. Thank you I am the same age as Tony Bennett, 84. Born 6-16-25.

I think she could have become the Irish Judy Garland had she branched out more, she became a bit corney but did have a good strong voice and style.

She has been referred to as the 'Irish' Judy Garland (Garland was actually Irish-American) because of her strong fan base and her performing style which focuses mainly on Irish traditional and Irish Rebel songs that have very dramatic and often sad lyrics. Her Carnegie Album is a masterpiece and demonstrates the comparison well. Her rendition of 'Rebel' songs are rousing and she is teh best female singe to do them because of her strong voice.She alwyas got standing ovations and requests for encores at her concerts ala Judy Garland. She had a midly successfull recording career in the 50s and 60s with several albums of pop songs doing well and was often seen on television shows of teh era but her forte is definetly the Irish ballad.
