“Let me guess. He preferred the B 17. My uncle was navigator on a B 24.”

Actually, he preferred the B-24, as he said it was a better aircraft. The Davis wing allowed for greater speed, a heavier bombload, and more maneuverability; but that did require greater skill flying it. I guess my Dad had that skill, because he liked to fly the B-24.
