"Aluminum Overcast" is the B-17G.....helped replace a jug and then a
main wheel when the 'old man' blew a tire at Milwaukee.
We had to do a powered (APU) gear retraction AND a hand crank cycling.
636 turns on the handcrank to retract the gear...ahhhh the memories;
longest 15 min. of my life...and the pain......I much prefer
handcranking the MGA!
Sounds like Pop is going to have a fun time!
