Some great guesses, but Jim nailed it!

And did you know that Bugs Bunny got that from the real deal? When the B-19 was on the west coast, just before the outbreak of the war, it was coming in for a landing during one of it's trials and the tower realized it was approaching a little hot, so the they called out to the bomber: "Come in B-19, you're over-shooting the field"...the rest was history.

Another bit of B-19 history, after Pearl Harbor, the B-19, which was still secret at the time, was quickly armed and camouflaged until it was transferred to the east coast for it's safety.
