I expect he may have been more motivated by post-war job prospects
than actual fear of flying B-26s at that point.
My friend's father went from P-47s to DC-3s as soon as he could so that he
could fly with the airlines.

As I understand it Art's pilot went right to medical school after the war and
had no interest in the airlines at all.
