This is one of the finest descriptive explanations of the Pilot and Co-Pilot flight controls for the B-24 on video that I've seen. Please watch and appreciate the complexity of flying this heavy bomber and imagine flying this while under heavy enemy fire.
This blog is primarily designed to be an information resource for the families of the crew who flew aboard the "Pistol Pakin Mamma". Intended to "Honor our family members who answered and honored their call of duty" aboard B-24J, Serial Number 42-72989; a plane of the 7th Air Force / Bomb Group 30 / Bomb Squadron 38.... September 11th 1944, 9 of her 10 man crew were lost in the Pacific during a bombing run over Marcus Isl. from Saipan.... All "clean" comments are welcome and suggested.
