Lt. Col. Edward Saylor 94 Was one of the final four surviving "Doolittle Raiders"
I don't know if you remember this story:-
A World War Two veteran who disappeared from his nursing home to attend the D-Day commemorations in France is on his way back to the UK.
Bernard Jordan, 89, left the home in Hove unannounced at 10:30 BST on Thursday and was reported missing to Sussex Police that evening.
Staff later discovered he had joined other veterans in France.
The former Royal Navy officer said he hoped his trip would not land him in trouble.
On Friday evening, it was confirmed Mr Jordan was on an overnight ferry and had been given a cabin, meals and a transfer back to his nursing home.
He recently passed away but left £600,000 to the Royal National Life Boat Institute. A hero in death as he was in life.
