Thomas Wright Capps flew 50 missions as a P-38 Pilot in WWII with the 82nd Fighter Group. He was killed in 1945 while training more pilots in the United States.

Vestiges of History is a channel that explores and shares the story of people through the objects they left behind. Through research, pulling threads, and thinking outside the box we weave our way through the past. The research intersects with WWI and WWII Military History, Golden Era Hollywood and whatever else we find interesting along the way.

The goals of the channel are:
Make History more accessible and entertaining.
Tell the best and truest version of the individual human experience.
Share untold stories.
Give voice to the voiceless.
Provide historical narrative parity.
Feed an insatiable case of curiosity.
Live a storied life.
