Remembering Billie
As Billie’s plane was falling out of the sky after presumably being hit by Nazi anti-aircraft weapons, according to eyewitnesses, Billie did actually have a chance to save himself and ditch his aircraft unharmed. However, his plane was on a collision course with the town’s main square. Instead of having his plane crash and kill innocents while he lived, Billie aimed the plane for the woods, dying in the process.
