Here’s the latest episode of Hero is … um: Origins, in which we meet one of Reilly’s high school friends, David Gilliam.

Here’s an extra bonus relating to last week’s Chapter 4: A photo of a still-airworthy B-24 Liberator. The vintage World War II bomber was at an airport near my house this weekend, along with a B-17, B-25 and P-51 Mustang. The planes tour across the country sponsored by The Collings Foundation. For a small entry fee, the public can climb into the bombers and see just how cramped the planes were, how thin their aluminum hides were and how hard those flights must have been. It’s amazing anyone came home from those missions. If the planes come to an airport near you, I encourage you to take a look, honor the veterans who flew them and contribute to the foundation’s efforts to keep these bits of history alive and working.
