...hate to perpetuate off topic but.. Grandfather was shot down flying B-24 over Ludwigshaven in 1944. Later became a Maj. General etc. Point being I got to fly in the restored B-24 "All American" last summer and see me-109, etc up close. OH MY GOD... you think driving a P-Car is exhilarating, fly in one of these unpressurized monsters with all waist and tail guns opened. Clearly the designers of these old birds did not have "safety" in mind when they thunk 'em up!
