Had McKennon been sleeping in his crusher! Evocative pics for sure, thank you.

They don't call it a crusher for nothing

Fantastic photos, thanks for posting them!

Here's a great pic of the "crusher look", Ted Fahrenwald of the 486th FS. Nice B-10 too with the 21st Pursuit Sqn (the unit which became the 486th) patch...

Is Roland B Scott Greg Gale in a former life?

I'll take that as a compliment, but I've already been told that I flew Liberators in the previous one

 

[Smithy]

He's got a point though Greg, there's a similarity there with that Scott fellow!

 

[Persimmon]

Yeah but Scott was hanging on to the stick for dear life.
Greg was hanging onto his girl friend for dear life.

 

[Pilot]

Greg, you are on the better track...
Odds for survival are slightly better...
Thx for all your pics and sharing...
