Firebombers….that brings back a much older warbird memory. In 1967, a strong wind caused a small Montana forest fire to become a major inferno. I was able to drive to a spot right across the river from a mountainside of flames and watch as B-17s, PBYs, A-26s, and DC-6s came down the valley one after another to drop their loads of retardant. I stayed a long time to watch the warbirds in awe as they performed their missions in an entirely different type of combat zone.
