Friend of mine, Vince, that I shoot Skeet with is in his 90's & was a nose gunner in a B24, 50 Missions...He had 5 kills credited but shot many more but not confirmed because of cloud cover.
He said the ME109's would invert into a dive as they were coming in, claims they were less of a target diving away.
He said the scariest part of every mission was the Flak.

My Dad, Doc Clements flew this bird over Ploiesti, Rumania more than once! He was the last one standing in his group!
God bless him!

Was Doc Clements in the 44th BG?

Nice. I had a cab ride in 2010 from an elderly gentleman who had been driving cab in Fairbanks, Alaska since 1944. He did his 25 missions as a tail gunner in a B-24, got his discharge, and then came up where a buddy of his had been working on the brand new Alaska (or Alcan, is it was then-known) Highway. Never seen one of these planes in person, not even in a museum.
Thank you very much, iosa; this plane, which still flies, is owned by the Collins Foundation. I have included a link to an exterior photo of the plane.

I have been through a B-24 and took photos but mine aren't as good as yours. Thanks.
You are welcome and you may be underevaluating (not a word, I guess) your photos.

My Dad did up to 29 missions and decided he would step out while his going was good. As I said, he was the last standing in his group.
