Heroes Among Us: Veteran U.S. Army Air Corps Cameraman ‘Never Felt Scared’ Filming WWII Battle Footage

MIAMI (CBSMiami) — Every Friday, in partnership with the Florida Panthers, we put the spotlight on a hero among us, men or women who have gone beyond the call of duty for our country.

Today, we’re meeting United States Army Air Corps World War II Veteran David Segal.

Corporal Segal enlisted in the Army in 1942 and served until 1945, following in his father’s footsteps who fought in World War I.

Corporal Segal was a cameraman. His job was to capture the fight and send the film to Washington.
