It was the first bomber of the period I've been in. It is interesting to have grown up a boomer as close to the war and viet nam, to feel what it was like for those kids...just in terms of how naked they were, the skin is SO thin, the spaces, generally, SO tight and small. I wanted to document the interior, as I have seen so few images, in the event the few remaining vets might enjoy them.

Very interesting photographs. I was just reading of Paul Mantz, precision pilot for Hollywood, stunt pilot for the first Flight of the Phoenix film (Jimmy Stewart...1965) -- which I remember going as a kid to see. In 1945 he bought nearly 500 of these or other military craft at bargain price, which the resale of the onboard fuel itself more than paid for (according to the Wikipedia account). He knew Amelia Earhart in the 1930s, was pilot for TV's "Sky King" in the 1950s(so cool -- that twin-engine prop plane) and for many war movies and, died in the filming of 'Phoenix when the hodge-podge plane they'd pieced together for the film fell apart in-flight. So many stories to tell, in aviation history.
