Dad had a lot of time in these too. The early A short wings are my absolute favorite Bird. The B-26 was/is a dangerous aircraft to fly, but enjoys the distinction of the highest return rate of WWll combat aircraft.....good chance more were lost in training than combat....one a day in Guantanamo Bay

in one of Dad's B-17 books, there is a series of photos, including this one. It shows the Fort flying under another one, then one showing the bombs falling, then striking the horizontal stabilizer, then the Fort falling out of control.
