Ray Holmes passed away today.
He was the WWII fighter pilot who saw a German bomber lining up for a run against Buckingham Palace, was out of ammo, and rammed the bomber to keep it from destroying the palace.
That guy was hardcore!!!

He was truly a great man. It's indeed sad to see the heroes of WW2 pass away...
