Thanks Grandpa
My Grandpa Peterson flew B-24 Liberators in WWII. He and my grandma (both are still alive) were in Pearl Harbor when it was bombed. I wish i had time to scan the pics i have of them, but here's a few of some B-24s and the dudes that flew em. I am lucky to have grandpa's flight jacket.

Thats pretty fuckin rad, Grant.
ReplyDeletevery cool Grant. I got to climb in to a 24 that the CAF has, it was unreal. The freaking flight deck was built out of plywood. Light and strong but I'm guessing it didn't do so hot if lead got thrown at it!
ReplyDeleteI'm in to planes too, rode in a T-6 warbird last year over the Pacific and did aerobatics with the canopy open and parachute on.
