A good friend of mine who passed away several years ago flew as a tail gunner in one of these.
His squadron was named the THE HELL'S ANGELS and his plane flew under the name of "SPARKY" which was his nickname.
There is a photo of that plane in the military air museum in Washington and it has appeared in several publications.
My friend was always proud to say that he was one of the original HELL'S ANGELS.
The loss of this plane is very sad.
