I love the features at this website:

https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Vi...24d-liberator/

The links for viewing (cockpit, waist gunner e.g.) are visual knockouts.

Won't load.

Diaphone Jim 08-29-2019 05:45 PM

I must have jinxed that website. None of the links from Google and other search engines work either.
Did Trump just abolish the Air Force?
I'll try tomorrow and give a heads up if things change.

The Northrop P-61 Black Widow, named for the North American spider, was the first operational U.S. warplane designed as a night fighter, and the first aircraft designed to use radar.

Hulu's Catch 22 has some good bomber scenes.

Grover Sassman appears to be an awesome human from a time when awesome humans could be fully awesome.

xoxoxoBruce 09-05-2019 09:03 AM

Yeah, Sassaman went to the HD mechanics school at the factory in 1939 and got his diploma signed by Arthur Davidson. He left the Marine Corps in 1945 with the rank of Master Technical Sergeant. After the war they awarded him a franchise in Indiana, a one man operation he grew successfully. Then a franchise in Florida, now Georgia.

That's a good video, done when he was young and sharp at 90. He has such an incredible attitude, impossible not to like him.

Retractable plane skis, I wonder how they did that, can't have been flush?
