[303rd-Talk] Bomb Fusing/Masters of the Air book

[harold susskind]

>From Hal Susskind:  I only flew one mission as a bombardier- 44 as a 
navigator - All I did was pull the pins over the water and as luck would 
have it we got recalled and i had to reinsert the pins efore we landed.  War 
called for many strange things.
