Default Re: Ford Willow Run documentary

A very good friend of mine was a gunner on a B24. He liked to tell a story about how, on the way back from a mission, that he would open up the 50 BMG, until it got so hot, that it would chain fire, until the belt ran out.

I met him in about 1980, before that, I knew of the B17 & the B29 but, didn't remember hearing of the B24's.
