    A Memory Owed: Telling the Untold Stories of Bomber Command

    In this episode of CAF Warbird Tube, filmmaker Zoë Lewin and writer-director Martin Hemingway-Moseley take us inside their award-winning short film A Memory Owed (2025), a deeply personal story that bridges two worlds. Set between a perilous 1944 RAF Bomber Command night mission and a present-day meeting between a 91-year-old veteran and his young caregiver, the film explores how the past continues to shape the present. Inspired in part by Lewin’s own family history, A Memory Owed captures the emotional reality behind wartime service—moving beyond aircraft and missions to focus on memory, loss, and human connection. In this conversation, Lewin and Hemingway-Moseley share how the story came together, the historical research behind the film, and the creative decisions that brought authenticity to both timelines. This episode offers a thoughtful look at the legacy of Bomber Command and the enduring power of storytelling to preserve voices that might otherwise be lost.

    Country Music Star & Warbird Pilot Aaron Tippin

    Country music star Aaron Tippin is widely known for patriotic hits like “You’ve Got to Stand for Something” and “Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly.” But beyond the stage, Tippin is also a passionate aviator with a deep appreciation for historic aircraft and the stories they represent.  In this episode of CAF Warbird Tube, Tippin joins the conversation to talk about his lifelong connection to aviation, his experience flying warbirds, and why preserving historic aircraft remains an important mission.  The discussion also explores Tippin’s new single, “American Sky,” a song that reflects on the meaning of freedom, heritage, and the generations who served to defend it. The themes behind the music connect naturally with the mission of the Commemorative Air Force, which works to keep historic military aircraft flying so that future generations can experience aviation history firsthand.  From the cockpit to the recording studio, Tippin shares how aviation and music have both shaped his life and why honoring veterans and American history continues to inspire his work.  Go to https://www.aarontippin.com/ to learn more about upcoming shows, music, and info on his new album release.
