I haven't thought about John O'Brian in years. But a comment made on this NG
reminded me of him. He was a bit older than the rest of us. He had a civilian
pilots license when the war started in Europe. He went to Canada and ended up
flying Hurricanes in the MTO. When the US entered the war he was, like all
Americans, transferred to the USAAC. But he ended up as a copilot with the
344th Bomb Group flying B-26 Marauders..I always wondered why, with his
experience, he didn't become a left seater. Any ideas?
