@GingerMafia48 2 года назад

My Grandfather served in WW2 as a radio operator in both the B-17 and the B-29. Reading his journals and memoires, he recalled several flights over Japan, including a rather sketchy run where they had to fly through columns of smoke to avoid AA fire, and his favorite missions which were supply runs to POW camps shortly after the surrender. Sadly, he died in 1992, but I think he would have enjoyed just how much effort you all went through if he had seen your video.

Thanks for keeping these awesome planes and others from WW2 around in a way today. Btw. I am writing this comment when you're going over the details of the plane. Not the shooting it down. Lol

40th mision eh? I remember watching a documentary where if a Bomber crew survived a certain amount of misions they were given the choice to return home. Though I dont remember the exact number. What I do remember is their average life expectancey was waaaay lower. Especially since on most missions they didn't have fighter escorts.
