Aloha All,
Here is a story which I am relating as best as I recall. I seek confirmation that the story is fact.
In 1970 and 1971, I took some classes at Southwest Smelting and Refinery [now called "S'West"] in the art of lostwax casting. While in line awaiting a lunch, one of the older students and I spoke about our mutual interest in aviation...and he told the following:
He was aboard a B-24A during a PREWAR cross-Africa development of procedures and landing places. They landed in a neutral country where a German Ju-88 was setting on the airfield. In the airfield's bar, the German crew and his crew swapped cordual drinks and spoke of having movie cameras. Both planes then left the airfield and out of the area, both planes filmed each other and, if I recall the dude correctly, firing their guns at each other...I now doubt that the B-24A had guns.
Ever heard of such? If so some US "stock film" might be of that Ju-88!
Thanks in advance,
David Aiken
