1. Did the captions come through?I thought I'd mentioned it in one.
2. For my birthday, we went to Buchanan Field in Concord, CA.
3. They come annually.
4. That's why I posted: "They're coming and you should see them."
5. I posted them for people like you. Glad you liked them.

'Liberty Belle' was her name.
She did not crash, it was a perfect landing and the pilot didn't try for an airfield because it was more important to save the passengers on board.
'Liberty Belle' was hear a few months ago but isn't the plane in my photo essay.

Exactly what Charlie 'Combat' Hudson, lead bombardier of the Eighth Air Force said in his book: Combat He Wrote.
