'Or else' what Art?...certainly not to be argumentative here at
all but there's some questions in my mind. You say that there's
no way to drop with your bombs on safe because the 'powers that
be' were worried that bombs might get dropped unarmed so removed
the possibility. So what's this about 'coming home with less than
8 arming wires'?, how could you do that?.

Simple. If the arming wires were not firmly and properly installed they
could
pull loose and go out with the bombs.. And since it is the bombardier
who
inspects and approves the bomb and arming wire installation, he is
called on
the carpet. And that is not a pretty picture.


...if you say so...they sure didn't seem to trust you guys too
well did they?...

The 344th was a terror machine, by the time Art got there. With little to
no strategic value.
