  • Morre Piloto Que Voou a Última Missão De Combate Na Segunda Guerra Mundial
    Morre piloto que voou a última missão de combate na Segunda Guerra Mundial Era 15 de agosto de 1945, fazia cinco dias que o Boeing B-29 Superfortress apelidado de Bockscar havia jogado a segunda bomba atômica sobre o Japão, na cidade de Nagasaki, o então Capitão da USAAF, a Força Aérea do Exército dos Estados Unidos decola com P-51 Mustang para mais uma missão de combate. Acompanhado por seu ala, o First Lieutenant Phil Schlamberg, estava executando sua missão sobre um aeródromo japonês quando o Imperador Hirohito anunciou que o Japão finalmente aceitava a Declaração de Potsdam – a rendição incondicional aos aliados – colocando fim ao mais sangrento conflito da humanidade. Yellin e Schlamberg que não ouviram os anúncios por rádio que a guerra havia acabado seguiram seu voo e após executar sua missão contra o aeródromo japonês eles utilizaram uma técnica conhecida dos pilotos e entraram em uma cobertura de nuvens para se proteger da artilharia antiaérea. Quando o Capitão Yellin saiu das nuvens não encontrou mais seu ala. O tenente Schlamberg havia desaparecido, provavelmente abatido, tornando-se a última morte em combate conhecida da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Seu corpo nunca foi recuperado. Com pouco combustível Yellin iniciou sua jornada de quatro horas de voo de volta à sua base em Iwo Jima onde recebeu a notícia de que a guerra havia acabado. A história de Jerry Yellin, um jovem de origem judaica que resolveu combater o antissemitismo nazista e passou no exame de vista da USAAF decorando o cartaz do exame por não enxergar bem, virou livro.
