Turret Gunner A20 thank you for your service. It took sand to climb into one of those babies 25 or 30 times.

20 in A-20s and 20 in A-26s. And I think it took a lot more guts to fly in the big heavy 'Buffs.'

Man both the A-20 and 26 were hot aircraft in their day. The A-26 as I recall was the fastest "bomber" in service.

I have never flown on a BUFF but I know guys who did very strange things in the Air Force to get back on flying status just to fly in that beast!!! In any case, I sincerely mean it - thank you, sir for your service and tell us more stories about the times you had.
