Good Evening Phil Dragoo.

WOW! Some great schematics and pictures of the B-24. The nose turret on the later models almost makes it look like another plane. What struck me about the B-24 was how narrow the wings were for a heavy bomber.

Thank you Phil.

There was nothing pretty or comfortable about the B-24 was there, Phil? It was built to do a job, period. But, you could shoot the hell out of it and it still had a reasonable chance to get back.
