[5:36] The Odnance man is closing the panel on 3 of the wing-mounted .50 cal guns in each wing [on some models] of the Douglas B-26. With the 8 .50 cals in the nose that makes 14. Plus the upper turret guns could be locked at 12 o'clock and control switched over to the pilot's targeting console [for 16]. The Invader could also mount a pair of twin .50 cal gun packs under each wing. I don't know if all 20 forward firing Brownings were used
Thanks for another Korean War post. It was a difficult time for our fighting men, and there are few of them left. Those B-26 bombers with the nose cannons really packed a punch! And the narration by Arthur Godfrey is priceless! God bless all our Korean Veterans! As always God bless you and yours and thanks again for everything you do! God bless the USA!!! Happy Thanksgiving to all! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nice film presentation here. Thanks for posting it. I see a man who may be my best friend’s dad, (5:13) an intelligence officer for the 35th Fighter Group. Any way of confirming the units depicted here?
Thank you from Amsterdam.

I just checked the notes from the archives; no unit information is given. Thank you for watching.
2:27 Il-10. this is probably Kimpo
No sound??
Yes, there is when I play it. Classic old Air Force narration and music.
