Re: flaming dump



Paul,

Thanks! I knew there were a bunch of those pesky raiders but never saw the full total of damage they caused. I know one F-94 crashed trying to shoot one down, and it was only after the Marines brought in F4U-5Ns that they started to get rid of them.

Soviets hated the B-26s for the same reason -- whereas we called the U-2 "Bedcheck Charlie" they called the B-26 missions "Starshina" (Sergeant Major) for the same reason. They were always glad when one got shot down as well.
