"The Few" Are Really Down To a Few

John Hart, the last surviving Canadian who fought in the Battle of Britain, has died at the age of 102.

Only four pilots from that battle still survive.

If you do requests, for the next prop noise post, could you do a Merlin engined Spit? Thanks.

My dad is now 92 and helped crew the 'jeep carrier' or 'Kaiser coffin' USS Corregidor off Okinawi during the battle.
He was also on the 'tin can' destroyer USS Ingraham at the Bikini atoll bomb tests, where the ship was steered right through the fallout (he temporarily lost his hair).
He was a young sailor then so he could be a candidate for last WWII vet as his grandfather lived from 1864-1974, nearly 110 years.

I once knew a Marine who was at Iwo Jima; he enlisted in 1944 at the age of 14. So he'd be 89 or 90, if he's still alive.
