10 Good Men: The Final Story of the B-17
Big News and New Showings Added
Some big news for you guys in this one! First off, in case you missed it, the term "historian" is apparently being used very loosely these days! Perhaps you might recognize this face.
I was lucky enough to be featured in History Channel's new series, Modern Marvels: WWII. The special three-part series premiered this past week and finished up on Monday! Although they still have some work to do, I am thrilled to see the History Channel talking about history again. Hopefully they continue to do so.
Here is a brief snippet from the series where I am featured in case you are interested! In this one, I am discussing the iconic A-11 wristwatch.
Now that you are done laughing at my Hollywood debut, we can talk about something a little more important—the new screenings added for 10 Good Men! And the upcoming one is, without a doubt, the biggest so far—and possibly ever.
This Friday, August 7th, we will be showing 10 Good Men for the first time in the state of Arizona at the historic Fox Tucson Theatre! But perhaps more important than sharing this with all of you is the fact that we will have some of the actual veterans from the film in attendance!
Right now (pending health or unforeseen circumstances, of course), Walter Ram, Radioman of 94th Bomb Group; Richard Bushong, Pilot of the 390th Bomb Group; and Harvey Horn, Navigator of the 463rd Bomb Group, are tentatively going to be in attendance. This is due in large part to our presenting partner, the 390th Memorial Museum, which has worked closely with these American heroes, and they volunteer there weekly, coming out to teach visitors about their experiences.
390th Memorial Museum in Tucson, Arizona.
I (TJ, the director) will also be in attendance at this showing, conducting a Q&A after the show and signing posters for anyone there! Although I certainly pale in comparison to these men, I am happy to help pass their stories along for further generations to hear. I very much hope that if you are in the area, you come out and attend this once-in-a-lifetime event.
If you are not able to make it to Tucson, no worries! We have also added some great screenings in areas around the country as well.
August 29th - NORTH OGDEN, UT - Walker Cinemas 6 N. Ogden
September 23rd - CHICAGO, IL - Classic Cinemas York (With TJ)
November 4th - GLENDALE, CA - The Alex Theatre (With TJ)
Grab one of our awesome posters, challenge coins, or shirts at the 10 Good Men screening events where TJ will be in attendance!
Get tickets to any of these showings, or learn more about them on the Where to Watch page on the 10 Good Men website!
Also, a huge thank you to everyone who came out to the showings this past week. 10 Good Men played in Atlanta and at the National Museum of the Mighty 8th Air Force in Savannah! Both of these were fantastic.
Despite a small room and screen, we packed 190 viewers in at the Mighty 8th Museum for an intimate and impactful showing!
If you have been able to make it out, please consider reviewing 10 Good Men on Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB! This helps us greatly as we try to get more showings. Click either of the links above to leave a review!
For those unable to come to any of these screenings, you may Pre-Order a DVD here (Ships on Veterans Day!) Also, 10 Good Men will be releasing worldwide on November 11th on streaming platforms if you prefer that! More info to come soon.
Lastly, many of you are likely wondering about our interview with B-24 Liberator veteran Mr. Lancaster! And I am happy to report that it was fantastic. In fact, the interview went so well and his memory was so sharp that I decided we would cut it in half! After nearly two hours, I was afraid that I would exhaust him and his family, so I asked if I could come back in a week or so to finish. He said absolutely! We heard about missions over Southern Europe, losing a commanding officer, bailing out, and taking damage from flak. Incredibly, we didn't even make it to his raid over Ploesti! (Not the 1943 raid; this was an early 1945 raid—still deadly, but not low level.) I will keep you guys posted when I finish this one!
Thanks so much for reading, and I appreciate all of you. Shoutout once again to the supporters who help to fund these interviews and content on the TJ3 History Patreon. You guys are truly allowing me to do this. Talk soon, and hope to see you guys at the upcoming shows! Please consider joining if you haven't yet!
-Your grateful friend, TJ
P.S.—I will be trying to shoot a behind-the-scenes video of the Fox Tucson show for Patreon members! Make sure to join so you don't miss it. I have been on hiatus from posting there but hope to resume posting with this one!
Please reply with your thoughts or feedback here! Here's to saving more history together.

75 ft alt, 200 mph, and no room for error. The Forgotten Solo Mission to Strike Japan's Oil Many people remember the infamous Ploesti raid to bomb Hitler's oil in 1943. That mission did not go quite so well for the United States Army Air Force. However, what many history fans are not aware of was a similar mission flown on the other side of the world just one year later. That is precisely what my latest video covers. If you can believe it, this mission was flown with just one single B-24, and...
A comparison of weapons Were the Spitfire's guns up to the task during the Battle of Britain? Hello friends! Get ready for some great gun camera footage, behind-the-scenes at the Fox Tucson, and a sneak peek at my next video, which will take us to Vietnam in 1972! To start with, we all know the Spitfire. It was one of the most influential aircraft of World War II and carried the bulk of the work for the RAF after 1941. It also looks beautiful and flies with more grace than perhaps any other...
Baa Baa Blacksheep and Pappy Boyington What is really true? More AI Slop Docs In this newsletter, once again, I am attempting to counter some false AI "history" narratives that are being perpetuated at a massive scale. And this one is perhaps even more disgusting than the last. In addition, we have some more HUGE shows to announce with 10 Good Men! Let's dive into it. VMF 214 - The "Blacksheep Squadron" Many of you know the name Gregory "Pappy" Boyington. He was one of the most famous...
