Thanks for the info on the movie - I’ll check it out.
I agree that they were the Greatest Generation. My dad was born in 1918 and flew B24’s out of Italy - I have pics taken from a cockpit of the flak the bombers had to put up with. He made squadron commander and had some interesting stories. He finally shipped out after his 51st mission (50 was the go home number). He was happy that the only injury on his crew was a minor cut on the top gunner’s shoulder from a piece of flak.
Dad said they did not make plans for "after a flight” as they didn’t know if they would make it back.
Like the B17 groups, the group he was in had 26 of the original 68 combat crews and 17 of the first 27 replacement crews shot down. The group, equivalent to an infantry regiment, equalled or exceeded the killed-in-action of 15 ground force divisions.
I hope this country never has to go through that again.

Backup of photos on a MacBook with Time Machine

Mac photos are stored in the cloud by default so, unless the changes were made to store locally, they will not show up in Time Machine. Time Machine will back up the photo library file which is stored in the Pictures folder of your home folder. Apple support has articles on how to store photos on external drives and YouTube has videos on how to move photos around.
