Hi guys
I was browsing thru you tube vedios today and came accross a comment about B-24s in India. following is a quote from youtube.
"Under the British flag, the B-24 saw combat in the Pacific Theater in operations ranging from anti-shipping to bombing and re-supply of resistance force operations.
At war's end, the aircraft was abandoned by the RAF in a bomber graveyard in Khanpur, India; with the assumption that it would not fly again. However, in 1948, the Indian Air Force succeeded in restoring 36 B-24's, including 44-44052, to operational status. These aircraft were utilized until 1968."
At first instance, I thought the person is talking about Khanpur village in Delhi :giggle:. Later on when I searched further, I realised that Kanpur is the lucky lady to have honor of sheltering B-24s before their rise from the graves to sky with thunder.
Here is a vedio with a beautiful song by someone. you browse thru the comments in this vedio which mentions the above quote.
