Calcutta
Danny,
I attended a meeting of Probus today and was having a conversation with one of my fellow members who flew Hurricanes in your part of the world. He had an engine failure and had to force land in the Burma jungle - broke his back but survived. However, I am getting off the point. When I told him I was reading this thread and currently it was largely about the Vultee Vengeance he said that he once got a lift in one to Calcutta and that they got a total of twelve of his colleagues in the back. I was a bit sceptical and asked how the heck you could get twelve blokes in a cockpit meant for one WOP/AG. He said the Vengeance had a large fuselage! Is this his memory playing tricks or would it have been possible?
