ROME, Ga. (CBS46) - A World War II veteran from Rome received a surprise on Wednesday he likely won’t soon forget.
Even at 101 years old, James McCubbin still fondly remembers the rush of sitting in the cockpit of a long-range P-51 Mustang fighter.
McCubbin was a pilot in the U.S. Air Force during World War II. He flew several missions over Germany in the P-51 Mustang before his plane was shot down in 1945. He was a prisoner of war for three months.
“He can tell stories about when he was captured as a POW and some of the events that took place trekking across Germany, begging for food once he was released,” Mason said.
