this B 24 burned because a fumble fingered knucklehead dropped a flare gun! (all you vets and active duty know exactly what I mean)

ReplyDeleteWill have to paint another!!!
And someone stupid with a flare gun, burnt the plane to the ground. SMOOOKE on the airfield, Fiya in the ski-i.
ReplyDeleteIt's rare to see an assembly aircraft in any condition. These were war weary birds painted in bright colors and wild patterns to help the group get into formation flares were used to signal the formation as well hence this mess.
