An old man reminisces

I crewed on PBY-5As, Grumman JRFs (Goose), Beech JRBs (D-18), PB1G (B17), A-26 Invader and I had several rides in TBMs and PBMs. Of course these aircraft were of WW-2 vintage but the flights took place between 1947 and 1953 so the aircraft were not that old. I guess the only thing that is old is me.
