Yeah, I liked that too. You don't see the Havoc on TV all that often.


Drat - missed that one and would have loved to see it - my father flew
an A-20 in Europe.


At a military show one day I was talking to a M-1 tank driver, and he
was bragging to everyone just how indestructable the thing was.
Nothing 'they got' he said can take us out. So, like the smart-ass
I am, I asked him if it could take an attack from an A-20?

He just glared at me, and I could tell what he was thinking.
Which was something like "I wonder if the ruskies have
anything like an A-20"?
