Doolittle had big brass clankers. God bless the men that fly and fight. He was first off the deck, with the shortest run. Clankers.

GO ARMY AIR CORPS!

And yes, I argue for rolling AF back under Sec Army. As a former zoomie.

Me too. I was very disappointed when I got my uniform issue at basic in April 1960. Current USAF BDU are cool. If we’d had unis like that, I’d probably still be in.

There is no way I would ever have tried to fly an army bomber off an aircraft carrier but seeing old film of the planes launching it appears that some of them simply lifted in the air.

Apparently the wind combined with the carrier’s speed was almost enough to make them fly.
