......Jimmy, what were you thinking?

No kidding! but more importantly what colors were the wheel wells?! Love it when we rivet counters find things "wrong", but actually happened.

And when he didn't want the complication of two engines he had this one.

If I was in charge I'd have had at least one of each type at my disposal, depending on my mood that particalur day. Fighters and Bombers. Transports too.

I recently read Doolittle's autobiography. Doolittle liked to fly a variety of different types of aircraft. He often flew on bombing missions as a pilot. The book was a good read.
