Sweet aircraft Tony. I recognise it from study...did an analysis of it. Which of the 3 wars were you involved in? Great a/c....only light bomber to go through all three I believe (up to and including Korea).

He had a photograph of us standing by the B 26 light bomber we crewed, what a shock. Ray was 20 and I was 19. We looked like two little kids standing by a big airplane. Now we look like two old far-- that had been run over by the airplane. When I was in the Air force I weighed 130 and had a 32" waist. I now am approching 76 and have a 40 waist line. When Ray stopped by, he was over 200 pounds. Yes, photos can bring back memories Tony Paul Marriner wrote: >Perhaps it's a maudlin Merlot mood, but I've been struck by two recent >events.
