@W H H: Actually I’ve never seen any WWII aircraft in person for that matter. I can’t wait.
We had a B-17 from the CAF come in for an air show. It did a ‘12 O’Clock High’ 45 degree bank over the highway – literally stopped all traffic on the road with people watching, and the sound of those engines…. They also had a B-24 like my brother-in-law flew. I could not believe he was able to bail out after he was shot down over Polesti. They didn’t call them the ‘Flying Coffins’ just because of the shape.
