An old B-29 bomber during WW-II returning to
an airfield in London, all shot up, with no crew
onboard.


Back when the book was published, the internet
did not exist as we know it now. Mr Caidin was
very meticulous in his research both for the book,
and verifying the integrity/credibility of the
pilots who he interviewed (ie. retired and active
duty fighter pilots, commercial airline pilots,
etc).

maybe we can get some interesting stories here.


Maybe you can explain how the B-29 got shot up when it did not fly combat
missions in Europe.

Curious minds want to know.

Regards,

Tex


That was probably my mistake in recollection, from
reading the book quite awhile ago. My apologies.

All the events in the WW-II theater are a bit before
my time. I'm only a 36 year old corporate (Part 91)
pilot.

From what I understand, Martin Caidin was himself
a military pilot and also the author of several
novels (including "Cyborg" - on which the 70's tv
series "The Six Million Dollar Man" was based on).

The aircraft in question, was 'some bomber' that many
witnesses (other aircrews) observed land (and when
they approached it, there was no crew aboard).
