Any Vets?

My grandfather was also an aviator in the Navy - delivered numerous B-17s from here to across the pond into England during WW II. I know someone will try to correct me because the B17 was mostly used by the USAAC but he was in the Navy, I'm certain of it!

The Navy did fly some B-17's towards the end of the war. But the B-24 was used in greater numbers because of its greater range. Bombers were used to anti-submarine, anti-surface warfare for good success.

Thanks to all that served and all who are currently serving now. Many thanks for your service. Including my son Joe, who just finished his seven years in the Army. Thank you. Leo

All came home safe and sound.
Freedom isn't free and you really see that when you travel around the world.
