Beau:

From your reference to Doolittle's "I could never be so lucky again" I thought you had the book.

To help you find it, it's Bantam, ISBN 0-553-58464-2. This is the paperback. www.bantamdell.com or Amazon. You don't have to go out to buy it, just whip out the plastic and the keyboard.

And I went into it, he doesn't say a lot about the B-26, but he does mention feathering one engine while on the take off roll at the Florida base. Not after he was already in the air.

Then later, in North Africa, he took Paul Tibbets for a ride, and even did a loop with one engine out. That was the same Paul Tibbets who gave the Japs their first lesson about nuclear power in 1945.

Bill.
