Thanks, Toyboy. And thanks not only to the service people that flew them but also to the unsung heros, women and men, who built them.

Neat video. The Consolidated B-24 design started as a flying boat idea and morphed into a long range heavy bomber in the late 1930s. 18482 copies built. Crew: 11. 3626 lost in combat.

That is what the plane builders said to the car builders when the project first started.

Yup, it was a bunch of guys from Ford that set up that plant and designed the production line.

If tomorrow were to be the next 1939, the japs would be bayoneting us in the streets while the EPA, Feds and City council sent the permit application back and forth and the union strikes for better benefits... Realistically it would be the Chinese of course and not the japs...
