I visited the Museum of The Mighty Eighth Air Force in Pooler Georgia last Saturday.

The museum has a highly polished B-17 on display. The exhibit contains engine cut aways as well as turrets with the guns.

An airman who is 102 made a short entrance pointing to a map with the locations of his 25 missions.

They have no B-24 because there simply are none existent.

The museum is right o I 95 and is worth a visit.

That is, indeed, a wonderful museum. Visited several years ago while in Savannah to visit my MIL.

About 8 years ago I heard a plane flying over and checked it out. It was a B24, the first and last one I’ve ever seen, my father flew those.

There are a couple around. You can really tell a difference in how they sound. Much smoother than a a B17.
