But the day after
the war ended my pilot got himself transferred out of Marauders to ATC
flying
nice safe DC-3's

That's interesting. I saw on the History Channel that the plane was ordered

The B-26 formations seldom dealt with large fighter attacks, or did they?

Our losses were far more to flak than to fighters.
