Anyone else remeber reading the B-25 straffers with the 75mm gun were not as popular as the all .50 planes because the ghun was too slow and hard to aim, and ships and airfields, the prime targets of the straffers were not in any way immune to .50 fire? I think I read this in General Kenney 's Reports, but I can't remember for sure.

The A-26 is cool as shit, would have gotten a lot more fame if the war had come a year later. It was a seriously hot performer, especially for a bomber.

Well it looked pretty damned awesome today. Clear blue sky on a crisp 36 degree day with the sun coming out of the west as it banked over downtown Bellevue, with the snow-covered Cascades, Mount Rainier and then Lake Washington in the background as it went back to - I'm guessing - either Boeing Field or Renton.

 

The only picture I got was in my mind's eye which has to be enough.
