[Milsurplus] B25 Aircraft Maintenance Manual - tail gunner!

[Joe Foley]

Sorry, I have to top that one, I was out passing out
pamphlets for the guy who is going to beat the pants
off from Hillary next week and met a guy, 81 years
old, who was a Marine tail gunner on the B-25's.

I asked him if  he flew on the ones with the big
cannon stuck out the front,... he informed me that it
was a 75mm gun and the recoil was HUGE when it fired!

Golly, I wish he'd had time to stay and talk more!
