Default Saw B-24 Land Yesterday

I had to drive down to San Jose yesterday, and saw a B-24 land at Moffet Field where they also have the giant blimp hangars. It really made my day.

My friend Rod Whiteker, who just happens to be still alive, use to be a tail gunner on B-24's in WW II.

The owner of the MGM, who just sold his casino, use to fly B-24's in WW II ...
sad to watch movies of their bombing runs and all of a sudden one peels off smoking to the land below.

We owe a lot to those old fly boys ...

My uncle was shot down in a B-17, and was in a German POW camp.
