    "Great interview, gives us some real insight on John Ford. Chester "


    I read the book, "Pappy: The Life of John Ford " by Dan Ford. It is a very good read. Did you know that on D-Day, John Ford was posted on a cruiser off shore of the landings. He voluntarily got on a PT boat and rode it for many hours, they actually came under attack several times. The Upshot is:
    JOHN FORD WAS AT D-DAY AND WAS SHOT AT. He could have stayed on the cruiser, with a smaller chance of being in danger.
