B-24's

April, 1995
We were visiting Mary and John Hallett at the beach March 30th thru April 2nd.
While there we saw a B-24 and B-17 plane fly over. Checked and found out they were to be on display at Myrtle Beach- Columbia - and Charlotte the next week.
The next week both Michael and Robert found out the B-24 would be in Columbia. They went to see it and called Harry. He had flown one in Brazil (1943) to Ascension Island to Africa looking for submarines (German). He arrived in England (1944-45) and flew escort over convoys from English Channel out into the Atlantic. He was stationed at Exeter.
Harry,Jr. also saw the B-24 fly over Columbia while attending a meeting.
He and Harry went to Charlotte to see the last air worthy B-24.
