The new skin for the B-26B-Strafer is coming soon.....a strange but true story:
The 555th BS/386th BG out of Boxted was one plane short for the day's mission, so Capt. Ray Sanford and the crew of Hell's Fury (already with 92 missions) volunteered to fill the slot.

At first I did not think so, but as it turns out he is a distant cousin. :D
