I never wrote about anything but B-26's or anything other than bombing from a
B-26.

IIRC, the B-26 was a deathtrap that killed more airmen in accidents
than in battle. Art raves on about it forever as if that aircraft
alone won the war which is garbage. And to make matters worse he
constantly talks about the bravery of the B-26 crews as if all the
other Allied airmen were ****, not to mention Luftwaffe pilots and
crews which kicked ass over anything Art or his crew ever did.


He has no idea the maintainers who fixed and armed that B-26 pulled
additional
duties he benefitted from like KP, trash, latrine details and how they felt
about it.

Our maintainers wwre all T/sgts an never pulled KP or latrine duty or even
guard duty but I pulled Officer of the Day and Officer of the Guard regularly
And if we never came back from a mission the crew chiefs would get a new plane
and crew in a heartbeat. And we would be only a memory soon to be forgotten.
And when the war ended these guys would live long and happy lives while we lay
buried in foriegn soil. War is not about gyros. It is about men who go out and
never come back as opposed to other men wo live their lives in relaitive
safety..And if you don't know the difference between them, you have never been
to war.

What utter BS! War is a team effort and those that survived deserve
just as much recognition and respect as those that perished. You call
yourself a Vet Art, what an asshole you are.You personally did not
build, arm, maintain, nor repair your B-26 or perform any other duties
that you benefitted from in the service.
