WW II Bombers with the Southern Cruisers

The Denton County of the Souterh Cruisers visited Love Airfield for the Air museum and a special visit of 3 bombers. B-17G B-25 and B24. We didn't get to tour the B24 as it has was in for maintenance due to a hydralic fluid line rupture but we got close up looks at the other 2. The B17G was used in Daylight bombing Runs over Germany and the B-25 was famous in taking part in the Jimmy Doolitte Raid on Tokyo
