One of my favorites is the guy with the B-17 in the background. He had been
a radioman on a B-17 over Europe. He was there with his son, pointing out
the various parts of the bomber hanging in the gallery, and describing the
differences between his plane and the one there.
My Dad flew a B17 out of Thorp Abbotts. Crawled around inside one with him a few years ago. Man those things were cramped! Bare bones. Absolutely nothing extra. His whole crew were just kids. It is a miracle that any of them returned at all.
