We had one of those in the lake. The memorial is on base, with a honking big prop as part of the memorial. Not far from the last unit I served at. Stoll distance to read and pray for men that fly and fight.
I was very, very young when they were flying and was more interested in mammary glands (as a food source) than aircraft.
I do remember they were loud, also.
