it does indeed help and is appreciated. i've been facinated
with that operation since i read some books about it and met
one of kanes gunners. not his ac, his group. man was a
treasure, talking about how the placid farm fields turned
into aa batterys in like 30 seconds. his plane lost a motor
and had some crew injured, but they all got home.
i was very young and forgot his name.

I actually met COL Leon Johnson (led the 44th Bomb Group aircraft on the
Ploesti mission) at Maxwell AFB in 1985. They had a Medal of Honor seminar
with him, Mike Novosel, COL Bud Day and John Levitow. He was a fine
gentleman and still had the handlebar moustache. I think there's a set of
markings for his aircraft out there as well. However, COL Johnson's B-24D
was standard OD/Gray rather than Sand/Gray.
