    Bolivian B17’s

    Yeah – when they flew CP 891 to March Field Califfornia they had to remove all the dried animal fluid under the hardboard floors – they said the plane was in totally deplorable conidtion and stripped of all equipment , she is now named “Return to Glory ” – thanks for the offer of any pics , CP753 , now restored and owned by Paul Allen who is Vice Pres of Microsoft Corp !!
    BTW it was a rare E model B17

    Pearl Harbor

    Well actually I like the film , yeah I know its got that Hollywood factor in it – ie script , incredulous flying , altered Historical facts .It does get across just how big a loss PH was and how America suffered . Main Message is
    ” Remember Pearl Harbor “

    Oh – I loved the Soundtrack , also Kate is a bit of allright !
