[Milsurplus] GI sound effects

[Bob Wilder]

Try talking to someone in waist of a B-25 with
those straight
stacks.  Found that the only place in the cargo
bay of either
the C-130 or C-133 where you could talk was all
the way aft
next to the jump doors and even then you have to
almost shout.
Forget about talking aboard an "Old Shaky" the
C-124, If not for
the engine sound the rattles will cover up a
normal voice.
