No he never did. Always managed to bring his aircraft home. He came home on three engines once probably due flak damage. They think they shot down an enemy aircraft but nothing confirmed. On one of the pics of a damaged aircraft my mother wrote that Glen was good at crashing aircraft. He was in three aircraft accidents before WW2.
I really liked Steve Buscemi in that movie based in N.Dakota - the name of it escapes me right now. However I do appreciate your humor.
If I come up with any more photos I will post them here.
And the Constellation cockpit photo was great thanks to that poster....
Am I correct in saying that the Connie had no autopilot?If so was it any good?
