This has to approach the ultimate in too much money and not enough to do.  Having said that it was a really fun video to watch.  I know my Uncle would have been really happy to have had the German gunners using apples!

Agree 100% on 1) & 3), except for it being Father in the latter case. I asked Dad once what was scariest part of a bombing run, flak or fighters. He said flak, no doubt. Purple Heart and DFC tells me he was an expert on that.  H^^ Steve
