They still have radio. I guess that was general officer privilege. (antenna centered above windshield)
Yes when a car was 16 valve then it meant 8 in the engine and eight in the radio

I wouldn't pay 425 bucks for a ride in a B-17, but I would have gladly paid them for a ride in the P-51

Nice pics...

I'd hate to see how much they would charge for a ride in a B-29!

I'm not aware of any B-29 still flying. I certainly would like to see one operating.
