The Ray Firmani Story
Against All Odds is the incredible true story of combat, love and heroism in World War II. It follows Ray Firmani, a first generation Italian-American who became the head of his household an early age and rose to meet every challenge life offered. He enlisted in the Army, earned his wings and won the Distinguished Flying Cross for extraordinary heroism.

Here's a piece of great news. I was doing some research trying to find out if any of Ray's crew mates were still alive. Unfortunately, most are not or there is no information about them. BUT, I was able to locate Hubie and his phone number, which I passed on to Ray yesterday.
I just got off the phone with Ray who could hardly contain his excitement. Ray re-connected with his ex-navigator and friend this morning and they had a 45 minute conversation getting caught up with each others lives and reminiscing about their war experiences. Hubie is doing very well and lives in Florida.
Ray and Hubie will now stay in touch regularly.
