Many of you might remember a guest we had back in season six by the name of John “Lucky” Luckadoo, the last surviving original pilot from the 100th Bomb group. As a B-17 Bomber Pilot, he flew twenty five missions out of England during WWII.

When we spoke with Lucky, he was with author, Kevin Maurer who told his story in a book called, “Damn Lucky, One Man’s Courage During the Bloodiest Military Campaign in Aviation History”. Almost two years have passed since that episode aired and we have continued to stay in touch with Lucky. In February of this year, (2024) I was able speak with Lucky who, at the time, was three weeks shy of his 102nd birthday!

In this episode of Your History Your Story, I’ll be sharing my conversation with Lucky about the recent Apple TV series “Masters of the Air”, which tells the story of the 100th Bomb Group, known as the “Bloody Hundredth”. Although, when we spoke, all the episodes had not yet aired, I was able to get Lucky’s thoughts on what he had seen so far and how it compared to what really happened.

After all, Lucky was there...
