WWII Documentary Sundown to Eleven Now Streaming Free on YouTube
Sundown to Eleven, the new documentary from director George Retelas, is now streaming free on YouTube. The film stars Richard “Dick” Miralles, the last surviving member of the U.S. Navy’s Air Group 11, who passed away on November 13, 2025, at age 101. Its release fulfills Miralles’ final wish: that the film debut publicly on Pearl Harbor Day to honor his fallen WWII comrades.
The documentary follows Miralles as he embarks on a deeply personal final mission—uncovering the fate of “Sundowner” fighter pilot Frederick R. Schrader, who was shot down in his Hellcat during the Pacific War. With the help of a passionate crew of volunteers from the USS Hornet Museum and the support of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, Miralles’ returns to Pearl Harbor eight decades after his service. Along the way, he revisits battle sites, takes to the skies in a Dauntless dive-bomber, and reflects on the cost of service and the power of remembrance. Blending the suspense of a cold case with the soul of a cross-country odyssey, Sundown to Eleven is a moving tribute to the enduring sacrifice of Gold Star families.
