Spirit of 45: 70th Anniversary of the end of World War II (August 14, 1945 – 2015).
Actress Scarlett Johansson’s great uncle, 2nd Lt. Phil Schlamburg, flew with our beloved friend, Jerry Yellin, during World War II. On August 14, 1945 (the last day of the war), Jerry and Phil took off in their P-51 Mustangs from Iwo Jima toward Japan. Phil did not make it back. Watch the one minute video where Scarlett and Jerry talk about Spirit of 45. http://www.afa.org/AFA/InformationFor/Media/Spiritof45
