Podcast: Inside “The Millionaires’ Unit”

The Millionaires’ Unit was the appellation given to a group of wealthy Yale University students who were determined to fight the Axis before the U.S. was involved in World War I – and they did so by learning to fly. They formed the nucleus of what became naval aviation and served – some died – in aerial combat against Germany. Marc Wortman, author of the book The Millionaires Unit, and Darroch Greer, producer of a documentary based on the book, spoke to AVweb’s Rick Durden about the documentary, which is being sneak-previewed at AirVenture, and about Wortman’s book.
