THE PILOT WHO WOULDN'T FLY by
ArtKramr
THE PILOT WHO WOULDN'T FLY
I am only telling you this story because he passed away two years ago. I won't
reveal his identity. Let's call him Captain Johnson.
Captain Johnson's plane was badly hit over the target. He and his crew bailed
out. But Johnson never liked to keep his chute harness...

Radio Silence and Death over Frankfort by
ArtKramr
The mission was far into Germany at the very limit of our fuel reserves. I
don't remember the target but I never will forget the return flight. B-26's
carry bombardier navigators. Each one in the formation plots the flight as
though he was flying lead. After we hit the target we turned toward...

Area bombing is not a dirty word. by
ArtKramr
60 years of hindsight with some revisionism thrown in have obscured the
original intent of attacking an enemy from the air. I only flew one (of 50)
mission
over cloud cover using GEE. We didn't call it area bombing. We didn't call it
blind bombing. Those are words are now used to stake out an...

Allison B-17 by
Stephen Harding
Saw a photo yesterday of a WWII B-17 test aircraft powered
with four Allison inline engines as opposed to the usual
Wright Cyclones.
Understand the modification added about 800 hp to the
aircraft.
Anyone know why the modification didn't go anywhere?
The usual suspects? Too much disruption to...

sunderland flying boat (origin of the name) by
Edward Senft
I'm pretty sure that Sunderland was the last name of
one of the designers of the sunderland flying boat. I
can't find any source other than a Wikipedia article
concerning the origin of the name.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunderland), This article indicates that
that the craft was named after...

PILOTS by
ArtKramr
PILOTS
You see them at airport terminals around the world. You see them in the
morning early, sometimes at night. They come neatly uniformed and
hatted, sleeves striped; they show up looking fresh. There's a brisk,
young-old look of efficiency about them.
They arrive fresh from home, from hotels,...

battlefield, this article gives me a bit of gratification:
