Interesting information. Thanks for the link. I hope to take a flight in one someday soon. The cost is around 450 -500 dollars for a 30 minute flight. I would love to get my uncle to take one last flight in before its too late. As I have said before he was a radio operator on a B-17G. Regards, Andy
Andy, in light of Davids question http://ww2chat.com/forums/war-air/2073-wireless-operators.html do you know whether yor uncle used morse or radio most of the time?
