Here's one for ya - This plane "Out of This World" was flown by my wife's grandfather, Lt. Ed Chamberlain, 819th BS, 30th BG, 7AF. Unfortunetly he was killed in a plane crash in 1953. I'm going to post a story about him and his son (my father-in-law) who retired as a Lt. Col., USAF after setting dozens of world speed and altitude records with the B-1B.

The nose art is better than shown in this photo!

Neat stuff, FBJ! One of the docents at our museum was an instructor pilot at Maxwell AFB during the war. Who knows, he may have trained Ed.

 

[FLYBOYJ]

HEY - any info you could find would be highly appreciated. "ED" trained at Muroc and I believe was there through 1944.

He died transporting the Governor of Delaware to Washington DC. They had in in-flight engine fire and he put the plane in the Potomac River. The Governor survived, Ed drowned.

 

[evangilder]

Well, I don't know if Russ trained him if he was in Muroc. I also have no idea if Russ would remember him because it was over 60 tears ago, but you never know. I can always ask.

 

[FLYBOYJ]

Thanks - you know I just realized ED got his advanced training at Muroc, that's when he went on the -24. I don't know where he got his primary training at, I'll find out and let you know.

 

[evangilder]

SOunds good. I am not sure what Russ' capacity was aside from an instructor pilot with B-24s. He may have trained in other aircraft as well. I do plan on interviewing him at some point and will get more info then.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Yes, it sounds like great stuff FBJ. I can't wait to read more about Ed.

[the lancaster kicks ass]

you know i often start a thread by reading the last post, then going up to my last post and reading down, and that one was just wrong until i read the rest

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yeah that one can be kind of funny if you just read that post.

Would have been far more disgusting if you said youd been inside Mama
