The REAL Aircraft #10, Report here.
Don't let JOhn's crew bother you. They're the next airplane over.
I just wanted to let you know that I (randomly) handpicked you guys, because I think that as a team we're (randomly) the best da** crew in the sky. We're going to kick some Nazi butt over there. You can suggest names for the aircraft if you'd like. I put a poll up that wasn't getting much action, so I made an executive ego decision to call the plane Rain of Terror, with the nose art depicted in the first post. Let me know what you think.

How's this for our nose art? Sophisticated yet playful. Beautiful but dangerous. Naked but...well, naked is enough there.

Ah. We had a suggestion in the poll for "Gunther's Thunder," which I like, too. Anyone on the crew want to vote one way or the other?
|
Yea well you probably just switched the #'s to make me look bad. :grr:

Me likey. Gunthers Thunder is fine. As long as we don't have the word "spinner" included, I'm good to go :) |
I hate it when the rest of the crew goes to the pub without me.

Betty Lou Hobnobski
16 Clear Creek Lane Rolla, MO My dearest Betty, I miss you and I think about you every day. It's hard to believe that I'm engaged to my high school sweetheart. We just finished our first mission, and it's strange to be the pilot of one of these big ships. If only the guys in algebra class could see me now! I'm proud to say that we had the highest bombing rating in our squadron - 60 percent! - though that was more the bombardier's work than mine. I just fly the thing. We saw 8 enemy airplanes on our way in, but there's only seven of them now, thanks to our tail gunner. I should describe our crew to you, or at least what little I know of them so far. tk13 is my copilot, so he sits next to me in the cockpit. He wears the Number 13 a lot, which I don't like, and he likes to play with the dials while I'm flying. I'm still trying to figure him out. My bombardier is from Chicago, so we call him Chitown. He sits down in the nose of the plane with the navigator, and he's really good. The best in the squadron, according to the stats, even if he does have to be dragged out of the pubs at night. Our navigator is a great guy. When I first saw his name, whoman69, I thought maybe he was one of those woman flyers. He's not, though, and that's good. I heard that a copilot in another plane killed his pilot over a girl. Our engineer is Pitt Gorilla. I was kind of disappointed when I met him because I thought he would be one of those trained military gorillas, but he's not, even though he's kind of hairy. He is from Pittsburgh, though, even if it's not the big Pittsburgh. KC Jones is our radio operator. He talks sometimes about his old-style house back home, and then he tries to call his wife on the radio. He's never reached her, but we think that once he managed to reach Hermann Goering. Our tail gunner is Duck Dog. He says he got the nickname when someone threw a dog at him once right as he bent over to tie his shoe. He's a crack shot, and killed a Messerschmidt on our first mission! Our ball turret gunner is named Dr. Nick. I don't think he's a real doctor, but he keeps trying to convince the women in the pub that he is, so we all try to help him out with that. Our right waist gunner is cormac. He's from another country, so we like to pretend we can't understand him sometimes even though his English is flawless. We just keep saying, "Huh? Huh?" and it's kind of funny. Our left waist gunner is The Rick. Not just any Rick, THE Rick. You've probably heard of him. Anyway, it's a great crew, and we've got one mission down and 24 to go. Wish us luck, and I look forward to walking down the aisle with you when I get back home! 1/LT Kevin |

Betty Lou Hobnobski
16 Clear Creek Lane Rolla, MO My dearest Betty, I think of you often, and can't wait until our wedding day after the war is over. I got a three day pass this weekend, not long enough to come back and see you, but I will be going to Cambridge. There are lots of interesting things to do there, but I also plan to spend a lot of time just enjoying the nice soft bed in the hotel room. I've completed three missions now, without a scratch. I can't say the same for my crew, though. We came through our first mission (to Abbeville) with just a couple of holes in the plane, though one bullet did come through the pilot compartment right next to me. The second mission was tougher. We lost our engineer to flak while we were over the target zone in St. Omer, and the plane took a lot of damage. The tailwheel was messed up and collapsed when we landed, so the ground crew had to work hard to get us ready for our next mission. That mission was the worst, and I sincerely wonder if it could get any worse. Our plane, Gunther's Thunder, was hit about two dozen times on our mission to Meaulte. Out of a ten-man crew, our navigator was killed, our left waist gunner (new to the crew) was injured badly enough that he was sent home, and our bombardier, engineer (just promoted from radio op), and even my copilot were injured. The landing gear didn't work right, so we made a full belly landing, which more or less destroyed the plane. We're not complaining, though. Two of the 20 planes we came over with have been shot down, and we don't know if anyone survived either one. Anyway, that's enough about the war. Give my regards to your folks and everyone else back home. 1/LT Kevin |

You Cad!!!! |
Course, when those ladies get the letters, there are a lot of blacked out areas on them.
Wartime censors, you know. Can't have people talking about actual locations and actual damage. So it probably reads a lot like: That mission was the worst, and I sincerely wonder if it could get any worse. Our plane, *************, was ******************* on our mission to *******. Out of a ************, our *****************, our ***************** was sent home, and our ********************************* were *********. The ************** didn't work right, so we made a ******************, which more or less ************************. I think you get the picture. |
Better be sure to send the right letter to the right girl! I would hate to see what would happen if Betty got the letter intended for Lucy. Somehow, I do not think Betty would be understanding of what your plans are for those soft beds in Cambridge.

The beds aren't any softer in Cambridge. But Rain Man might have someone lined up to help cushion the mattress. (the dog)

Lucy Coopersmith
3128 Thames Street Cambridge, England My dearest Lucy, We completed our fifth mission today to great fanfare. We attacked the railyard at Amiens today, but unfortunately our bombardier was killed before he could sight the target. We missed, but I'm sure that the other bombers knocked out that railyard. We've been sent all over the place so far in the war. On five missions, we've been to Amiens, Lille, Meaulte, St. Omer, and Abbeville. Our first mission, the Abbeville one, remains our most successful, though at least we didn't have to crash-land the plane on our latest one. I did get a purple heart, though, when a bullet took a piece out of my left forearm. Don't worry, though; it wasn't serious. I greatly enjoyed my time off with you last month, and hold fond memories of our romps in the Hotel Desmond. I really had some explaining to do once the rest of the crew saw all those scratches on my back! Yours truly, 1/Lt Kevin |

I'll take you up on that round....or seven.....1st mission...didn't even get a single shot off at a Jerry....and get "promoted" to ball turret......I wonder who invented THAT idea...lol.

To,
Boeing Aircraft Company Wichita, KS Thank You. This is such a beautiful airplane....we maybe got dinged a little last mission, but we are in great shape now...the ground crews just love Gunther's Thunder III, we're gonna take her out again soon a bomb another Nazi target. I've only completed one mission, but we did a good jop and Gunther's Thunder III got us all back to base in one piece. A couple of Nazi fighters weren't so lucky. Everything works great, the only thing I would like to know is how do you hide a bottle of first aid medicine in the ball turret? Don't worry, it won't freeze, but it's kinda cramped and I was wondering if there was a little slot or something it might fit in. Thanks again Your most grateful friend Bug |

I think that feller named Bug done went and slipped me a mickey before we took off cuz I was a tellin him I wasnt real big on being that high up in that thar airoplane. Turns out I even got a shot off at one of Hitlers aeroplanes, but I missed. Course I was 3 sheets into the wind apparently so ... go figure. I heard Bug got moved somewhar else on the aeroplane. Sumthin bout him havin turrets syndrome I think. Says he has to stay in some big ol turrets ball. I think thats what he called it anyways. Maybe it's so when he starts ta cussin, the rest of the fellars dont have to hear it. Love, Yer son |
Folks,
All is well here, we flew our first mission and layed our bombs right on target. There were a lot of Nazi fighters, and we shot a few of 'em down. Met this fella called 4th and long, he likes grandad's moonshine first aid medicine, but gets kinda bleary eyed after a few swigs, it does settle our pilot JOhn down though. Got me a promotion to ball turret gunner, can't wait till the next mission. Got me two guns now, should be fun. Mostly boring in the air, the country side looks a lot like Texas farmland. Gets a little bumpy when the flak gets close, but Taliswoman and Dartgood just give the Nazi's a moon shot. Mohillbilly is our best drinker, gotta keep hidin' the shine from him. Stinger and Roger play cards a lot, and read some kinda magazine full of pictures, not many words. Guess they like to keep it simple. We get a new crewman this week, don't know him yet, but will share the first aid with him anyway. Ya'll take care, see ya after 25 missions. Bug. |
ok...two missions down, no ammo wasted. (gotta shoot at something first) but I am not complaining. JOhn gets first pull on the jug this time.....

Good shooting there guys!!
Now, I think I'll go down to the range and practice a little........... maybe quit pulling my aim off...... |
Well men, it looks like we need a little practice with them guns you've been given. So as not to seem like an ass, I'll make a little wager.
First man to shot down 4 enemy planes, get a free 48 hour pass to London. And for every mission we make it back, the nights beers are on me at the Pub. :toast: |
WHEW!!!
No fun riding around in a itty bitty little ball with busted guns...... guess the range work is paying off though..2 confirmed kills and a probable. Which, by the way. I am positive blew up after dropping under the clouds. Now I get to man the tail...hummm, gotta find a new place for the 'shine stash,,,,umm,,err..ugh..first aid medicine kit I mean. |
