I provided ground support for Aluminum Overcast at an airshow. I got to tour the inside of it. those WWII movies that show all that space inside? Bullshit! I looked at the rear gunners little bicycle seat and the tunnel to get in there and I thought, NO WAY! Big freakin’ stones!

Oh, they had the original pilot there. God bless him.

My Dad was a bombardier on a B-24 in the Pacific Theater, he called it a "flying coffin."
