Peter:
Many thanks for your reply. After nearly 60 years, I can still remember that the tow planes were bright yellow Martin B-26s. I'll never forget one incident where the aircraft was tightly bracketed by black air bursts from the five-inch AA guns, and the range officer screaming "cease fire, cease fire" over the intercom. I'm sure that violent evasive action by the pilot was all that saved them. He was throwing that B-26 around like a fighter. Richard T. |
