I have a beautiful model of a B-24 with our original Group and Squadron markings here at my home. At the same time, I purchased one for each of my three grandsons. They love them. I am a WWII AAF vet. I flew as Flt. Engineer top turret gunner. We lost three Aircrafts–crash landing, and two bail outs. We got back two times third time we bailed out in to GermanSS held territory.I don’t know how but we survived and was released at the end of the War.
