Least we forget the roll that these planes and their brave crews played in maintaining out freedom. One thing to think about regarding the crew members of this plane. The gunner in the belly ball turret was pretty much confined to his position for the duration of the flight. He could not get out of it in a hurry in and emergency to bail out of the plane. If the hydrolics and or electrical components were disabled he was doomed to go down with the plane. Now that took real courage to do that job.
As Winston Churchill said: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few".
Wisnston was at the time refering to the British fighter pilots who defended Britton from the Germans in WWII. I also think that the statement also applies to the crews of the planes of WWII and to all of the land soldiers who fought and died to maintain our freedom.
