摘要

ON clare musgrove'S first mission over Ploesti, Romania, he and the crew of his U.S. Army Air Forces bomber were certain to be shot at. Romania supplied the oil the Nazi war machine desperately needed for its tanks, trucks, and aircraft. While the Germans vowed to protect the flow of oil from Romanian wells at all costs, in 1943 and '44, the Americans grew just as determined to choke production. To do it, they sent Consolidated B-24 Liberators of the 15th Air Force, based in Ban, Italy. With a high wing, four engines, and an H-shape tail, a B-24 looks roomy from the outside, but half the crew—the pilots, navigator, bombardier, and radio operator—sit in or near the nose. Then comes the tightly packed bomb bay. "It usually had five 2,000-pound and ten 1,000-pound bombs," says Musgrove. "It might have even carried some 500-pounds." A narrow vertigo-inducing aluminum plank links the cockpit with the tail section, which housed two waist gunners, the tail gunner, and the ball-turret gunner, Musgrove's position.
