God bless that man. The B -24 was a dog of an aircraft really.
With the wing configuration one good hit in either wing and down it went.
I knew some men who flew in B- 17’s and they all said they owed their lives to fact they were flying in one.
The B- 17 could take punishment that would have destroyed a Liberator.
They took their assignments and used the tools they had.
Looking at the current state of our nation, there are days it is difficult to comprehend the sacrifice on their part being worth it. Jimmy Stewart’s wartime experience flying the B-24 is a pretty awesome story, as well.
