Many months ago, while reading the Checklist Manifesto (by Atul Gawande) my Great-Uncle, then 92 years old, showed me his B-29 bomber manual from WWII and right there was the pilot checklist that Mr. Gawande references in his book and I saw first hand the importance of checklists, also known now as a to-do list and every time I do my list I think of "UB" and his manual.
(This is just one of the many insights I have gained from listening to my great-uncle tell stories about his youth, WWII and his working life).
I salute you, UB and all the other veterans of war for their service in protecting our freedom and those of our fellow men, women and children in this world.
