Met a man today have been neighbors with him for 5 yrs ! Never seen him outside to talk to him ! He was in a b24 called the sweating duck ! We talked for a long time glad we did !!
its about time we see videos on the b-24s all i been seeing is b-17s these b-24 crewmen dont get enough credit for what they did i love the b-24 i thought it was a pretty damn good aircraft we need more videos on it
Thanks for the video. My Dad was a B24 mechanic in Wendling England 1943 - 1945. USAAF 8th, 392nd BG, 578th. I have lots of nose art photos, but great seeing them in action.
In 1979 I joined the U.S.Army.In 1984 at age 27 , I became a CH-47 Flight Engineer....Could it mean that if I would of been alive in 1944, I may have been a Flight Engineer on B-24s or B-17s?....
Thanks for posting the video. My only wish is that my father was still alive to see his beloved Liberator again. He was a prop mechanic instructor at Chanute and then went on the chase the Japs across the Pacific. While he was at Saipan, he volunteered as a rt waist gunner, was shot down, spent 7-days in the water and was rescued by a submarine. Until the day he died, he carried shrapnel in his wrist and could put a magnet on his skin to get free beers. LOL. RIP dad.
Thanks for sharing this video. My Dad was in the 448th/713th (Seething) '44-'45. Miss him but this brings back good memories.
