God bless him. My uncle was a B24 navigator. He survived bombing missions over Germany and lived to be 74, God rest his soul.
The story is particularly meaningful to me. My uncle was his co-pilot aboard both aircraft: Lt. Luther E. Clark, USAAC.
Fantastic story - thank you for sharing it (though I had same problem here as others with a suddenly blurry screen). I saw this very same B-24 last year when it made its last visit to my hometown of Manchester, NH. I was standing in a parking lot early on a Saturday morning about a mile from the airport when I heard the deep roar of engines. I looked up and there she was, at no more than 1500 feet, huge, gleaming in the sun and still beautiful after all these years.
