I didn’t know that the US Navy operated the B-24 or any other strategic bombers.

The B-24 had a lot of uses - among them sub hunting, transport, and recon.

Both the Navy and Marine Corps flew the PB4Y.

Coast Guard too.

The Navy also flew B-17s at the end of the war known as PB-1s.

“I didn’t know that the US Navy operated the B-24 or any other strategic bombers.”

That’s why I come to FR everyday. Learn something new and often amazing.

He was Navy, a Tailgunner in Liberators in the South Pacific. He flew many a mission with other Navy B-24’s, and crashed in three during his time of service.

He’s alive today and 85 years old living in Texas. Escapee from Katrina.
