    Capes/Cloaks

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    Heavy bomber For me it's the PB4Y-1 (the Navy's version of the B-24J). My Grandfather flew in these in WWII from Clark Field in the Philippines with VPB 104. It carried a bigger payload than the B-17, but with nick-names like "Flying Boxcar" and "Flying Coffin" you just don't get the...

    Gongs! British Cold War Service... Good or Bad?
