"The D-Day Pilot and Flight Nurse" with Steve Pedone

Presented by Stephen P. Pedone, Lt. Col., USAF (Ret.), this talk recounts the intertwined wartime and postwar lives of his parents, Capt. Vito Pedone and 1st Lt. Geraldine “Jerry” Curtis Pedone, whose service placed them at the center of D-Day and the decades that followed. Vito served as co-pilot of the lead Pathfinder C-47 that delivered the first American paratroopers into Normandy on June 6, 1944, while Jerry was among the earliest U.S. Army Air Forces Flight Nurses, flying combat evacuation missions from Normandy back to England days later, often in the same aircraft. Drawing on family records and military history, the presentation traces their meeting and marriage during the war.
