I’d love to take a flight in a B-24 Bomber. My dad was nose gunner on it in WWII. Of course I don’t want his experience of having to bail out, twice, while still in training here in the states and being injured doing so. Engine fires both times on the “war weary” bombers that were sent back to the states for the new crews to train on, while the new production craft went to Europe and the Pacific for combat missions.

See my post #37 WWII aviation

“The Wild Blue: The Men and Boys who Flew the B-24s over Germany “ Stephen Ambrose

A superb read,
and yes, it’s an homage to his friend George McGovern.

I have been involved in some odd stuff and come from a Mil Spec family but would never consider anything like the old Army Air Force.

Thanks for your post #37. I hope you get to ride in a B-24!
