Back then people were eating out of garbage cans to survive you moron. Noi asshole. The war was on. War production was in full swing and employment 100%. "The federal government first became involved in fighting hunger in 1939, when it began a food stamp program, which was curtailed in 1943 because of food shortages linked with World War II. By the 1960s, one-fifth of the U.S. population lived in poverty and was at risk of hunger." -- Health & Human Services Report There has *never* been 100% employment in the United States, moron. |

Moron, you want to know why they hired women in the shipyards and the airplane factories? So the Black and Indian males couldn't get hired. I'm not black, Indian, or Japanese, but a lot of **** went down that you seem to have closed your eyes to. |

"ArtKramr" wrote The "reserve" means held back. Not at the time. The Guard & Reserve troops were fully assimilated into the war effort. Back then it was a disgrace to join the reserve. Times have changes since WWII. Kids were leaving school and coming back in Marine, Army and Navy uniforms and we all wanted to go. I wanted to also but after the represent of the ArmyAir Corps addressed us my mind was made up. I wwanted to fly. And there was a song popular at that time. It went " Zoot suits and parachutes and wings of silver too. He'll buzz the clouds as his daddy used to do" I was hooked by the Air Corp I was afraid I couldn't pass the exams but I was good at math and physics and passed easily. The physical was no problem since I was on the track and football teams and in good shape. Next thing I knew I was 10,000 feet over the Rhine in heavy flak fields doing what I was trained to do. And I'm still here to tell about it. A non-answer to my question. But that is to be expected. Pete |

Well, not Martin B-26s. And the highest rate of killing its crews.One a day in Tampa Bay. The widowmaker, The B-dash-Crash.The flying Prostitute, The Flying Coffin. Got it now wannabee? Art, The Army Air Force Statistical Digest disagrees with you. While the Martin B-26 had the highest accident rate of any _Medium_ Bomber (Medium being the B-25, B-26, and the Lockheed B-34), it never approached the accident rate of the A-20, which had roughly twice teh number lost per 100,000 Flight Hours, and all of the various Fighter/Pursuit types. Those aren't subjective impressions - they're hard facts, backed up by the cold, unfeeling numbers. But the frigging A-20 was yanked out of service while we flew B-26 in combat to the bitter end. And of course you never had to fly the B-26 so what the hell did you care? The "frigging A-20" was in service throughout the war (From the very beginning, actually, The same airplane, as the DB-7, was in service with the French Armee de l'Air in 1940, and flew against the Germans) They served until 1945, wherever teh AAF was - North Africa, the Med, the ETO, a They yanked almost all the A-20's out of the ETO and sent them down to the MTO, a less demanding theatre of operations. I don't think I ever saw an A-20 over Germany. Arthur Kramer 344th BG 494th BS England, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany Visit my WW II B-26 website at: http://www.coastcomp.com/artkramer |
