Terrible shame the digital copy is so awful, as this is historic footage of unsung heroes.

you're right, check out the just added high-res at /watch?v=YzG_nkzcXY4 ... it's a little better.

My Dad was a tail gunner on B-26s in the 19th Squadron 22nd Bomb Group in the Pacific Theater in 1942 & 1943. Then he flew on B-24s in Europe after that.

I love that plane!

I'm looking for anyone who has photos videos of a
B-26 called The Shady Lady.
Her Pilot was Lt. Thomas Lea Alford

Wish there was some background info on these clips. Does anyone know what airbases these were shot at? Which Bomb Group or squadron? I couldn't see the tail markings. Great footage though and I look forward to seeing any additional info that may be available. Thanks - Daughter of Marauder Man FE-Gunner.

397th Bomb Group, 599 Bomb Squadron

Thanks! Thanks also for this very nice video. My Dad was 391st BG and 572nd Sq.

My Father was radio man and tail gunner, making bomb runs over occupied France.
