Subject: Re: If you like classic planes ... by Notorious on 2008/12/15 22:35:09 Good stuff. Here's what Dad served on during the big war, a B-24 Liberator.  He was a gunner and they were shot down in the Bay of Bengal which were still Japanese controlled waters at the time. The crew spent more than 50 hrs. in two life rafts before being spotted by a New Zealand pilot. Dad had been wounded as had a couple of others but besides that they only lost one crewmember that day. He spent a few months recovering at a hospital in India and still carries the bullet to this day. |
